Her name is Dinah. In the Bible her life is only hinted at in a brief and violent detour within the more familiar chapters about her father Jacob, and his dozen sones in the Book of Genesis. Told in Dinah's voice, this novel reveals the traditions and turmoil of ancient womanhood - the world of the red tent. It begins with the story of her mothers - Leah, Rachel, Zilpah, and Bilhah - the four wives of Jacob. Dinah's story reaches out from a remarkable period of early history, and is a valuable achievement in modern fiction - a new view of biblical women's society..
