Interesting fictional account on the biblical times and life of Dinah and her family. I admit it was difficult at first, I had to keep referring to the family tree in the front of the book (I'm a visual person!), but once the characters were fleshed out in my head, I could follow Dinah's very interesting and sometimes heart-breaking story. No spoilers here, but I will say that her story at times moved me to tears, and I was happy for her towards the end of the book. So give the book a chance, learn something about how life may have been like in Biblical times, understanding that people did things a certain way because of family tradition and obligation, and in the process, you can read an amazing story of strength and survival. In the end, I loved this book.
