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.
