Review “By giving a voice to Dinah...the novel has struck a chord with women who may have felt left out of biblical history.” ―Los Angeles Times“With stirring scenery and a narrative of force and color, a readable tale marked by hortatory fulminations and voluptuous lamentations.” ―Kirkus Reviews“After several nonfiction works on Judaism, Diamant's fiction debut links the passions of the early Israelites to the ongoing traditions of modern Jews, while the red tent of her title (where women retreat for menstruation, childbirth and illness) becomes a resonant symbol of womanly strength, love and wisdom....Diamant succeeds admirably in depicting the lives of women in the age that engendered our civilization and our most enduring values.” ―Publishers Weekly“By giving a voice to Dinah...the novel has struck a chord with women who may have felt left out of biblical history.” ―Los Angeles Times“With stirring scenery and a narrative of force and color, a readable tale marked by hortatory fulminations and voluptuous lamentations.” ―Kirkus Reviews“After several nonfiction works on Judaism, Diamant's fiction debut links the passions of the early Israelites to the ongoing traditions of modern Jews, while the red tent of her title (where women retreat for menstruation, childbirth and illness) becomes a resonant symbol of womanly strength, love and wisdom....Diamant succeeds admirably in depicting the lives of women in the age that engendered our civilization and our most enduring values. ” ―Publishers Weekly About the Author Anita Diamant is the author of The Red Tent, a word-of-mouth bestseller and the Booksense Best Fiction selection.
