The Red Tent by Anita DiamantMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Anita Diamant tells the story of Dinah, Jacob's daughter--from her life as a little girl to her life as a midwife and woman in a foreign land. It combines what we know of Dinah from the Bible with great story telling.
This book was an interesting read, not only because of the tapestry of the story, itself, but also because of the culture and customs of the day. Life was not easy then, filled with superstition, hard work, and often abuse of women. Such sadness, yet, as the story is told, Dinah over came her circumstances and triumphed.
