She is raped by a prince whose father then offers to pay a dowry so that his son might wed her. Dinah is the daughter of Jacob, only sister to Joseph (he of the coat of many colors). Indeed, her story is so violent, tragic, and brief, that she is rarely anything but a footnote in most Bible study classes.Ī quick retelling of the story as told in The Bible is useful to understanding this book. It is the story, though, told in a way you never heard it in Sunday School. Despite this, the book still managed to take my breath away in manners unforeseen.
I brought high expectations to the book as a trusted friend highly recommended it to me. The Red Tent is not the book I expected it to be.
