'Anita Diamant's The Red Tent' is an epic celebration of womanhood, written for women everywhere, regardless of their status, creed or colour. It is the story of a woman whose life was blessed by great love and torn by tragedy, of the lessons she learned through her own experiences and those of the women, and men, whose lives she touched.
This novel is as compelling for its female take on the grand themes that transcend time - birth, death, love, hate, betrayal and forgiveness - as it is for its meticulously researched and hugely fascinating picture of everyday life as an early Jewish woman.
