«La tente rouge» is the historical novel by Anita Diamant, published by France Loisirs / Robert Laffont in hardcover (411 pages, in French).
The novel gives voice to Dinah, a biblical character almost absent from Genesis, and narrates her life alongside the four wives of Jacob: Leah, Rachel, Zilpah and Bilhah. In the red tent, a space reserved for the women of the tribe, they share rites and secrets; there Dinah discovers her vocation as a midwife. It is an intimate look at femininity in the ancient world.
The work was originally published in English as The Red Tent in 1997; this French edition is from 1999. It won the Book Sense Book of the Year Award in 2001.
For reading clubs and for those seeking historical fiction focused on the female experience.
Anita Diamant is an American journalist and writer of fiction and non-fiction books.
