The Red Tent by Anita Diamant
Anita Diamant

The Red Tent may have been Anita Diamant's debut novel, but even avid readers like Julia Roberts were wowed. The Los Angeles Times said: "By giving a voice to Dinah, one of the silent female characters in Genesis, the novel has struck a chord with women who may have felt left out of biblical history. It celebrates mothers and daughters and the mysteries of the life cycle."
