Title: Wonderful, Heartbreaking, and Moving Novel.
Review: "The Red Tent," by Anita Diamant, recounts the Old Testament tale of Dinah, daughter of Jacob and Leah. Dinah narrates the story for us and recounts not only her own story, but that of her mothers (Leah, Rachel, Zilpah and Bilhah), her brothers, and her father.I cannot express what a wonderful novel this is. Diamant is an extremely talented author. She managed to take a few simple lines of text from the Old Testament/Hebrew Bible and spin those sparse lines into the most engaging and touching story of a young girl and her family. Diamant brings Dinah to life and makes the reader love Dinah. I cried at parts of this novel and I laughed in others. It's a genuine work of art and Diamant is to be applauded for her work. Simply beautiful and captivating.
