Review of 'Red Tent - 20th Anniversary Edition' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
I loved this book. The writing was lovely.
I went in not knowing much about the bible stories behind it, and I think allowing the book to unfold made it even better. I was captivated by the women's friendships and rituals, but what really drew me in was the tragedies and joys of Dinah's life. I loved following her life from start to finish, and didn't want the story to end. It was a beautiful book. No need to be religious to enjoy the story--it's a wonderful historical fiction read all on its own.
