I thought this book was a very good read. The first half of the book was more interesting as it described the lives of women from biblical times. It also gave us a look at how women treated mentruastion before the age of sanitary napkins and tampons. The next time I have my period I want to go hang out in a red tent for three days and let the rest of my family fend for themselves! Diamant is an excellent writer. My favorite line from the book: "Of all life's pleasures, only love owes no debt to death". What a beautiful sentiment.
