Book Review of The Red Tent

The Red Tent
Grazona avatar reviewed on + 119 more book reviews


I was expecting this book to blow me away, based on the reviews and controversy around it. That was not the case but I do think it was a good book. The story is beautifully told but I found it to drag at times and be a little tough to follow with so many characters who are intertwined and have strange sounding names. I am not religious nor have a strong Christian background so this felt like historical fiction to me. I would recommend it for a reader who is similar on these issues. It is based on some Biblical characters and some Christians find it upsetting.
