This book was a beautiful exploration of girlhood, womanhood, and sisterhood. To delve into the untold stories felt like being let in on a secret. I picked this up in a op shop for $2 because I liked the cover, and reading this book gave me more than I could have hoped. I laughed, I cried, I reflected on my own life while reading The Red Tent. If you want to find yourself intwined with the stories of women and the spanning of connection across time, this book will be perfect.

Beautiful piece of historical fiction! Diamant brings the world of Biblical women to life with such vibrancy and honesty. She doesn't shy away from hardship and the ugly details of life, but also celebrates the strength, knowledge, and accomplishments of Dinah and the women who form her sisterhood.
