Her name is Dinah. In the Bible, her life is only hinted at in a brief and violent detour within the more familiar chapters about her father, Jacob, and his dozen sons, in the Book of Genesis.  Told in Dinah’s voice, the novel reveals the traditions and turmoil of ancient womanhood — the world of the red tent. Deeply affecting, The Red Tent combines rich storytelling with a valuable achievement in modern fiction: a new view of the biblical women’s society.
