Anita Diamant imagines the traditions and turmoil of ancient womanhood through the story of Dinah, the little known woman from the bible's Book of Genesis, known as little more than the daughter of Jacob, and as sister to Jacob's seven sons.

Deeply affecting, The Red Tent combines rich storytelling with a valuable achievement in modern fiction: a new view of biblical women's society.  This twentieth anniversary edition of the beloved international bestseller includes reflections on the story, an interview with the author, as well as discussion questions for book clubs/classrooms. 

"By giving a voice to Dinah, one of the silent female characters in Genesis, the novel has struck a chord with women who may have felt left out of biblical history.  It celebrates mothers and daughters and the mysteries of the life cycle." -- The Los Angeles Times
