The Red Tent by Anita Diamant
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.
'Diamant is a wonderful storyteller, not only bringing to life these women about whom the Bible tells us so little but also stirringly evoking a place and time' - BOOKLIST 'I genuinely fell into this rich and colourful world and Dinah and Leah have stayed with me as ancestors and sisters brought to life by Anita Diamant's imaginative novel' - Maureen Lipman
Anita Diamant's debut novel The Red Tent was an international bestseller and won the Booksense Book of the Year Award. Her second novel Good Harbor was a favourite with reading groups. Anita is also an award-winning journalist and the author of several books about contemporary Jewish life. She lives in Massachusetts with her husband and daughter.
