I think this was one of the most moving books I ever read

I thought this book was excellent. I loved the story and the way it was told through a female perspective. I definitely recommend it for other book clubs to read. It made for some very interesting conversation topics.

we all need one, a red tent. it seems all women would benefit from a brief time away from men and work every 28 days, their families might as well. the red tent is an interesting and plausible story about a briefly mentioned biblical character, but more than that it is a compelling story about women as sisters, mothers, wives and friends.

Fascinating re-imagining of the life of Jacob and his wives, told through the eyes of his only daughter, Dinah. The author goes further in creating a whole storyline for Dinah after parting from her family. Interesting details of life in Old Testament biblical times. Relational motifs especially among women. Worth the read.

Beautiful writing, a lot for women to talk about even if they do not know anything about the origins of the characters and the rape of Dinah in the Bible. I've read the book twice & can see myself reading it again. It is an excellent book for book clubs (some women will hate it as well which makes for even better discussion!)

I'm glad I read the book, but I struggled to finish. There were many names in the story, which was confusing for me. Yet it was interesting to read about the Jewish practices and beliefs during Bible times.
