![]() ![]() Published in 1997, The Red Tent became a paperback best seller thanks to word-of-mouth support. ![]() The Red Tent is historical fiction, but because it is based on a biblical story, many readers feel a special connection to its cast of characters, whose names echo through the ages right up to 21st century babies named Jacob, Rachel, Joseph and Dinah. In The Red Tent, Dinah tells her own story, and that of the women around her. Dinah does not say a single word in the biblical text what happens to her is recounted and characterized by her brothers. The brief episode in which she appears is usually referred to as the “rape of Dinah,” a violent episiode that has posed difficulties for biblical scholars over the centuries. The Red Tent is the story of Dinah, a minor character in the book of Genesis, chapter 34. Buy the Book: Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Bookshop, IndieBound ![]()
