Best book recommendations in 2021: Tried and tested favorites


I revisited

British university historian Helen Watt joins forces with an intrepid graduate student to prove the identity of the person they believe is a female scribe who wrote the forgotten papers for a blind rabbi, a forbidden role for women during a time when the plague was rampant. The story delves into the hardships, successes and intimate lives of several Jewish families in an age where women s roles were extremely circumscribed.
