Full review
As a graduate in literature I have read so many books, but this is my all time favourite. It basically tells the imagined life of Dinah, but is so full of vivid descriptions and a real feeling for the historical period, that I cannot imagine anyone not liking it. Diamant has obviously researched her subject well and this is show in the many details. The ways of child birth, the rites of passage, the relationship between friends, couples and families. It is a thick book but races through enough, to give a sense of anticipation and yet lingers enough to seduce the reader. We used the Red Tent as a reading for our wedding service to be enjoyed by everyone. The last image is of the Egyptian Lotus who's smell is always present, whenever you smell it, the images conjured up makes the memory alive. This is likened to love that never dies, as the very name of someone conjures up images to keep that love alive. I cried when I had finished the book simply because there was no more to read. Beg, borrow or buy it anyway you choose but read it. It is life changing.
