Book Review of The Red Tent

The Red Tent
reviewed on
Helpful Score: 14


One of the few books to make me cry in a very long time. It's the fascinating, deeply moving imagination of the life of Dinah, a Biblical character barely mentioned in Genesis in the context of her father Jacob and her twelve brothers. It says a lot about sisterhood, matriarchal ties and endurance. I would highly recommend it to anybody, especially women.
