<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br> The red tent is the place where women gather during their cycles of birthing, menses, and even illness. Like the conversations and mysteries held within this feminine tent, this sweeping piece of fiction offers an insiders look at the daily life of a biblical sorority of mothers, wives, and daughters. <p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br> <p><b>In this modern classic interpretation of the biblical story of Dinah, Anita Diamant imagines the traditions and turmoils of ancient womanhood--the world of <i>The Red Tent</i>, a <i>New York Times </i>bestseller and the basis of the A&E/Lifetime mini-series. <p/>Twentieth Anniversary Edition </b> <p/>In the Bible, Dinah's life is only hinted at in a brief and violent detour within the more familiar chapters of the Book of Genesis that tell of her father, Jacob, and his twelve sons. <p/><i>The Red Tent</i> begins with the story of the mothers--Leah, Rachel, Zilpah, and Bilhah--the four wives of Jacob. They love Dinah and give her gifts that sustain her through childhood, a calling to midwifery, and a new home in a foreign land. Dinah's story reaches out from a remarkable period of early history and creates an intimate connection with the past. <p/>Deeply affecting, <i>The Red Tent</i> combines rich storytelling and the valuable achievement of presenting a new view of biblical women's lives.</p> <p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br> <p>"Diamant vividly conjures up the ancient world of caravans, shepherds, farmers, midwives, slaves, and artisans....Her Dinah is a compelling narrator that has timeless resonance." --<i>Merle Rubin, The Christian Science Monitor</i> <p/>"A full-bodied novel." --<i>Susan Adler, Hadassah magazine</i></p> <p/><br></br><p><b> About The Author </b></p></br></br> <p><b>Anita Diamant</b> is an award-winning journalist and author of six books about contemporary Jewish life, including <i>The New Jewish Wedding </i>and<i> Choosing a Jewish Life</i>.
