The red tent is the place where women gathered during their cycles
of birthing, menses, and even illness. Like the conversations and
mysteries held within this feminine tent, this sweeping piece of
fiction offers an insider's look at the daily life of a biblical
sorority of mothers and wives and their one and only daughter,
Dinah. Told in the voice of Jacob's daughter Dinah (who only
received a glimpse of recognition in the Book of Genesis), we are
privy to the fascinating feminine characters who bled within the
red tent. In a confiding and poetic voice, Dinah whispers stories
of her four mothers, Rachel, Leah, Zilpah, and Bilhah--all wives to
Jacob, and each one embodying unique feminine traits. As she
reveals these sensual and emotionally charged stories we learn of
birthing miracles, slaves, artisans, household gods, and sisterhood
secrets. Eventually Dinah delves into her own saga of betrayals,
grief, and a call to midwifery. - Amazon.com Review
