Rashi becomes real for novelist Anton

By SORIYA DANIELS, Freelance Writer

Rashi’s Daughters: Book One - Joheved. By Maggie Anton. Banot Press. 368 pp. $15.95.

A mesmerizing tale, part fiction and part fact, by first-time author Maggie Anton takes readers of Rashi’s Daughters: Book One - Joheved back to medieval 11th-century France. The book explores the personal lives, hopes, trials and tribulations of the great Talmudic sage Rashi and his immediate family.

It is also a story of love, marriage, and family - and the timeless struggles life can bring, such as finding an appropriate spouse, dealing with infertility, caring for a parent with dementia, difficulties earning a living and dealing with challenges within marriage, particularly communication problems. As the title implies, Rashi’s Daughters: Book One — Joheved is the first novel in what Anton anticipates will be a trilogy to explore the personal and intellectual lives of Rashi’s three daughters. Book Two, focusing on daughter Miriam, hits bookstones on July 31.
