The Weight of Ink
Set in London of the 1660s and of the early twenty-first century, The Weight of Ink is the interwoven tale of two women of remarkable intellect: Ester Velasquez, an emigrant from Amsterdam who is permitted to scribe for a blind rabbi, just before the plague hits the city; and Helen Watt, an ailing historian with a love of Jewish history. 
by Chloe Benjamin
The Immortalists
It's 1969 in New York City's Lower East Side, and word has spread of the arrival of a mystical woman, a traveling psychic who claims to be able to tell anyone the day they will die. The Gold children—four adolescents on the cusp of self-awareness—sneak out to hear their fortunes.
by Laura Arnold Leibman
Once We Were Slaves
Blanche Moses, a genealogist from a prominent Jewish family, believed her ancestors were Sephardic elites—until she uncovered a startling truth. Once We Were Slaves reveals that her grandmother and great-uncle, Sarah and Isaac Brandon, were born as poor Christian slaves in Barbados. Tracing their journey across the Atlantic, Leibman explores how they reinvented themselves as free, wealthy, Jewish, and, at times, white—shedding light on a forgotten population of mixed African and Jewish ancestry and the fluidity of race and religion in the 19th century.
