20009781559276450-2025Macmillan Audio 2000. Hardcover. New/New. Author: Anita Diamant Carol BilgerPublisher: Macmillan AudioBinding: HardcoverISBN: 9781559276450Release Date: 2000Details: Deeply affecting The Red Tent combines rich storytelling with a valuable contribution in modern fiction: a new perspective of female life in biblical society. It is a vast and stirring work described as what the Bible might have been had it been written by God’s daughters instead of sons. Far beyond the traditional women-of-the-Bible sagas in both impact and vigor The Red Tent is based upon a mention in Genesis of Jacob’s only female offspring—his daughter Dinah. Author Anita Diamant in the voice of Dinah gives an insider’s look at the details of women’s lives in biblical times and a chronicle of their earthy stories and long-ignored histories. The red tent of the title is the place where women were sequestered during their cycles of birthing menses and illness. It is here that Dinah hears the whispered stories of her four mothers—Jacob’s wives Leah Rachel Zilpah and Bilhah—and tells their tales to us in remarkable and thought-provoking oratories. Familiar passages from the Bible take on new life as Dinah fills in what the Bible has left out—the lives of women. Dinah tells us of her initiation into the religious and sexual practices of the tribe; Jacob’s courtship with Rachel and Leah; the ancient world of caravans farmers midwives and slaves; her ill-fated sojourn in the city of Sechem; her years in Canaan; and her half-brother Joseph’s rise in Egypt.Skillfully interweaving biblical tales with characters of her own invention the author re-creates the life of Dinah providing an illuminating portrait of a courageous woman and the life she might have lived. A new view of the panorama of life in biblical times emerges from the female perspective and the red tent itself becomes a symbol of womanly strength love and wisdom.The Red Tent is one of those extremely rare publishing phenomenons—a little promoted but dynamically successful book over 250000 copies sold that owes its success to enthusiastic word-of-mouth endorsements. Now for the first time this sweeping saga which has struck a chord with so many modern-day women comes to life as a much-anticipated audiobook. Macmillan Audio hardcover
