THE RED TENT BY ANITA DIAMANT

The Red Tent is a novel by Anita Diamant, published in 1997. It is a first-person narrative that tells the story of Dinah, daughter of Jacob and sister of Joseph. She is a minor character in the Bible, but the author has broadened her story. The book’s title refers to the tent in which women of Jacob’s tribe must, according to the ancient law, take refuge while menstruating or giving birth and in which they find mutual support and encouragement from their mothers, sisters and aunts.
