Negative Positive
Title: remarkable and inspiring
Review: Who says women in traditional societies were the property of their families and husbands? Meet Dinah, a strong-willed and intelligent daughter of Jacob who becomes both a functioning member of ancient Hebrew society and the ruler of her own existence. I had never read a work of historical fiction before, and I was immensely impressed by the cultural details, which when combined with a passionately written story of the rich, emotional lives of Dinah and her mother and aunts, make for a stunning, tragic, and ultimately inspiring book. I recommend this novel to any woman, and any man who cares about women's issues.
