![]() ![]() 13 event kicked off a series of public dialogues between the two authors. ![]() Lindahl’s memoir, “The Pendulum,” is about discovering that family secret, and the effect of that discovery on her on life’s path. 13 at Cambridge’s Porter Square Books, Kadish, a granddaughter of Holocaust survivors, publicly interviewed author Julie Lindahl, the granddaughter of high-ranking Nazi SS officer. While Kadish often gives readings from her own work, both locally and elsewhere, she also promotes the work of other writers whose voices she believes are essential to our public conversation. “It’s a surprise and a delight to learn that the novel has been recognized by an organization I so admire.” "The writing and research for ‘The Weight of Ink’ took many years, and the process often felt like a very long journey with no map - but I fell in love with these characters and this history, and that made the work worth it,” Kadish said. Kadish, whose widely acclaimed third novel, “The Weight of Ink,” won a National Jewish Book Award, interweaves the tale of two women - one, a scribe to a blind rabbi in the 17 th century, and the other, an ailing historian in modern-day London, who has a love of Jewish history. ![]()
