À propos de cet audio
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 250,000 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.

Heart Warming
I have read this book in paper form first for in University. Now I read it for pure pleasure and the way it makes me feel. It is like a call to home for women to remember the things that patriarchy has caused us to forget. Whenever I read this book it makes me feel more connected to being a woman of the earth and a person who longs to know their ancestors story and leave one of her own. I always have a feeling of pure joy and warmth with this book. It’s simply amazing.

Excellent!!!
This is a fantastic read. The author takes a story a lot of people are familiar with and tells it from the female perspective. Once I started this novel I couldn’t put it down. To Anita Diamant’s credit I really cared about the characters she created and was eager to see how their stories unfolded. I highly recommend this novel.

Simply Beautiful
I had heard about this story when it first came out and put it on my 'to read' list and then forgot about it. Thank goodness it made its way back to me. I am amazed at the seamless and intricately woven stories taken from the bible and given new life. A truly creative masterpiece. This should be a must read for every young girl coming of age.
