This is a work of fiction based on the biblical story of Jacob, and his wives and family. It is told from the perspective of his and Leah's daughter, Dinah, who is only briefly mentioned in the Bible. It is a beautifully written story that draws the reader in with well-developed characters who seem to come to life for those who know the story from the Bible, although prior knowledge of the story isn't necessary to enjoy the book. My favorite type of book is one that leaves me wanting more when I've read the last page - "The Red Tent" definitely does that.
