I really was totally engrossed with this book. It was fascinating to hear a woman's point of view from biblical times. It definately made the associated bible stories more three dimensional and honest, rather than mythical. I couldn't put it down!

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 sons 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. book cover
