"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."

Captivating, May 24, 2009
By Ellyb

""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 with detail. The story follows Dinah, the sole daughter the family, whose name is mostly associated with violence briefly described at the beginning of the Old Testament story of Joseph's exile into Egypt. Here her life is fleshed out thoroughly and the result is a captivating portrait of womens' lives during this time period. One might think it would be a difficult read, considering what the Bible implies about Dinah's life, and indeed there are some tough moments, but really the novel is more about the relationships among the women of this family, and how they navigated the world at the time. Don't let the hype annoy you into ignoring this book. It's talked up for good reason."

"I purchased this book so my Sunday School Class (senior citizen) could see how difficul the times were for women. I know itis fictional, but it does follow the Biblical story of Dianah. They seemed to enjoy it. We think the O T stories are not very interesting, but we need to digest them more and see how they fit into our world today."

By Matt, Redmond, WA

"Okay, so I knew before I read this book that it wasn't written for my demographic. I'm an adult male. This is a woman's book through and through. With that disclaimer in place, take what I'm about to say worth a grain of salt: I really didn't care for this book.

The Red Tent is the "Fried Green Tomatoes," "Steel Magnolias," or "The Notebook" of the Old Testament set. It tracks the life of a quaternary character in Genesis, Dinah, from before her birth to after her death. Diamant takes massive, but necessary, liberties with the story. There simply isn't enough in the initial account to tell a bedtime story, let alone a novel. She expands Dinah's life into an ensign for the lives, loves, and losses of women everywhere. (And if that sounds a little melodramatic, that's because the novel itself strikes that melodramatic tone).

Diamant writes in a beautiful voice, and develops stirring and evocative passages describing both the internal and external environs of Dinah's life. She immerses the reader in a very foreign culture and world, and does so without pandering or over-explaining the culture--all the while refraining from the obtuseness or clumsy colloquialism that is often found in this type of novel.

The major themes of the joy of menstruation and child birth, the origin of life in the shedding of blood, drench the pages of this novel (if you'll excuse the pun). As a man, I simply can't identify with this theme. But besides my ability to "sync my cycle," as it were, my biggest problem with this book lies in the story itself. Dinah's one or two verse mention in Genesis is so brief and so vague. Diamant's artistic license creates a story that is just not believable. Dinah is like Forrest Gump; she's there for every major event, she meets all the important people, and it just seems all a little too convenient. Additionally, Diamant disregards the biblical narrative of the events actually described to such an extent that the very nature of those events is nearly unrecognizable.

Diamant also makes mistakes in this novel: first she alternates between an extremely awkward 2nd person voice and a 3rd person voice. Secondly, the book, despite being crammed with drama after drama and event after event, was poorly paced. Too much description of the unimportant things, not enough of the ones that affect the story.

Overall, The Red Tent is not a book for me. I can't identify with the themes of the book, and the shortcomings in the writing are substantial enough that I'm unable to bridge that gap."
