The Red Tent

by Anita Diamant

Great Historical Fiction: An epic tale based on the biblical character Dinah. It's complex and moving and provides a lot of insight into being a female in ancient times. It's a beautifully written book about female bonding and one that will stay with you long after you read the last page.

Praise For This Book

"Diamant vividly conjures up the ancient world of caravans, shepherds, farmers, midwives, slaves, and artisans...Her Dinah is a compelling narrator that has timeless resonance." -Merle Rubin, The Christian Science Monitor

"A full-bodied novel." -Susan Adler, Hadassah magazine

"The wives of Jacob gather in the red tent, and in that image Anita Diamant has found the heart of a pulsing and moving novel. The tent is red because of the falling sun, and because of the flowing blood. The tent is, as the narrator says, 'an earthbound rainbow,' which is also true of this novel. Dinah, famously a daughter and a sister, finally tells her own story-and the story of that unknown legion, God's women. When the light is refracted through their experience-and through the lens of Anita Diamant's moral imagination-the colors couldn't be more vivid, and the oldest story of all could never seem more original, or more true." -James Carroll, author of An American Requiem
