by Anita Diamant (Author)
Loved by women across the world, now, for the first time, the international bestseller is available in Britain. Her name is Dinah. In the Bible her fate is merely hinted at in a brief and violent detour within the verses of the Book of Genesis that deal with Jacob and his infamous dozen sons. Told in Dinah's voice, THE RED TENT reveals the traditions of ancient womanhood and family honour. It opens with the story of Dinah's mothers - Leah, Rachel, Zilpah, and Bilhah - the four wives of Jacob, each of whom embodies unique feminine traits, and concludes with Dinah's own startling story of betrayal, grief, and love. Deeply affecting and intimate, THE RED TENT combines outstanding storytelling with an original insight into women's society in a remarkable period of early history.
