My memory is dust. This is not your fault or mine. The chain connecting mother to daughter was broken and the word passed to the keeping of men, who had no way of knowing. That is why I became a footnote, my story a brief detour between the well-known history of my father Jacob, and the celebrated chronicle of Joseph, my brother. Lost to the history by the chronicles of men, here at last is the dazzling story of Dinah, Jacob's only daughter in the Book of Genesis. Moving panoramically from Mesopotamia to Canaan to Egypt, The Red Tent is robustly narrated by Dinah, from her upbringing by the four wives of Jacob, to her growth into one of the most influential women of her time. Seeking to preserve not only her own remarkable experiences but those of a long-ago era of womanhood left largely undocumented by the original male scribes and later Biblical scholars, Dinah breaks a male silence that has lasted for centuries, revealing the ancient origins of many contemporary religious practices and sexual politics. The result is a beautiful, thought-provoking novel.Hide synopsis

This was a beautifully written book worth reading. I couldn't put it down. Not only would I recommend it I shared it with my
daughter and daughter-in-law.
We all read it within a week.

A great read. Definitely recommend it to women, but I don't think it's a book that men would generally enjoy. The book is full of love and adversity with unexpected twists. It's a page turner.

"The Red Tent" is one of those books I'd been seeing everywhere and finally picked up just to see what the fuss was about. It turns out that Anita Diamant has a real gift for world-building, as her rendition of biblical era life among Jacob and his wives and children was utterly believable and rich ...
