Brazos Bookstore and the Initiative for Jewish Women are proud to present Maggie Anton, author of the popular series, Rashi's Daughters. The third book in the series is Rashi's Daughter, Book III: Rachel, A Novel of Love and the Talmud in Medieval France, which she will read from and sign at this evening's event.
Rachel is Salomon’s favorite and adored by her husband, Eliezer. But everything she holds dear is threatened as the marauders of the First Crusade massacre the Jews of Germany and her father suffers a stroke. Eliezer wants them 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 Talmud academies.
"A stunning achievement. You will not be able to put this book down, and may even find yourself rushing off to study Talmud." --Judith Hauptman, Professor of Talmud and Rabbinic Culture, Jewish Theological Seminary; author of Rereading the Rabbis, A Woman’s Voice
