<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/><b>This edition of the book is the deluxe, tall rack mass market paperback.</b></p> <p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br> "The wives of Jacob gather in the red tent, and in that image Anita Diamant has found the heart of a pulsing and moving novel. The tent is red because of the falling sun, and because of the flowing blood. The tent is, as the narrator says, 'an earthbound rainbow, ' which is also true of this novel. Dinah, famously a daughter and a sister, finally tells her own story-and the story of that unknown legion, God's women. When the light is refracted through their experience-and through the lens of Anita Diamant's moral imagination-the colors couldn't be more vivid, and the oldest story of all could never seem more original, or more true." --<i>James Carroll, author of An American Requiem</i> <p/><br></br><p><b> About The Author </b></p></br></br> <p>ANITA DIAMANT is the bestselling author of the novels <i>The Red Tent</i>, <i>Good Harbor</i>, and <i>The Last Days of Dogtown</i>, as well as the collection of essays, <i>Pitching My Tent</i>.
