Rashi's Daughters, Book III: Rachel: A Novel of Love and the Talmud in Medieval France | Maggie Anton

1 post | 6 read | 1 to read

The dramatic final book in the epic historical trilogy about the lives and loves of the three daughters of the great Talmud scholar Rashi Rachel is the youngest and most beautiful daughter of medieval Jewish scholar Salomon ben Isaac, or "Rashi." Her father's favorite and adored by her new husband, Eliezer, Rachel's life looks to be one of peaceful scholarship, laughter, and love. But events beyond her control will soon threaten everything she holds dear. Marauders of the First Crusade massacre nearly the entire Jewish population of Germany, and her beloved father suffers a stroke. Eliezer wants their family to move to the safety of Spain, but Rachel is determined to stay in France and help her family save the Troyes yeshiva, the only remnant of the great centers of Jewish learning in Europe. As she did so effectively in Joheved and Miriam, Maggie Anton vividly brings to life the world of eleventh-century France and a remarkable Jewish woman of dignity, passion, and strength. From the Trade Paperback edition.

Rashi's Daughters, Book III: Rachel: A Novel of Love and the Talmud in Medieval France | Maggie Anton

so-so

Loved the first two in the series, but this one was two parts boring to one part depressing-AF, with the occasional not-sexy sex scene. I don't hate that I spent the time reading it (because I cared about the characters in the whole extended family from books 1&2), but I wish it had been more rigorously edited for pace/structure/character development. Flowers in the picture are just for something positive to add.
