The part of the river you see is not the whole ruver
Highly evocative and moving reaching into the past, the present and future generations of forgotten women, giving them a voice and a soul. Meaningful and poetic. It improves with every reading/listen.

such an evocative book
I have read this book and listened to it several times. For me, it brings to life how women's lives were shaped by men for so long. although the women were strong and supported each other, ultimately they had very little choice in making decisions about their lives. Life was hard and the men could be brutal.
The story is about Dinah, the sister of Joseph-from the old testament. Although set in biblical times, it is not about religion. It covers one woman's life from birth to death, her childhood with all of the wives acting as her mother, her training to be a midwife, falling in love and having a son - all against the biblical background of familiar stories.
For today's independent active women, a life where you lived apart from the men when you were menstruating or in childbirth -in the red tent being waited upon by young girls - is so alien. But despite the sadness of death and loss, this is a joyous account of a woman overcoming the hardships to find peace of mind and her place in the world.

stunning
I found this story mesmerising, moving and it made me cry. My only criticism would be its abridged and I missed the parts written in the book.

Abridged!
The Red Tent is my favourite book and in my excitement over seeing the title, I didn’t notice that it was an abridged version. I really wouldn’t waste my time on an abridged version of this book, it needs and deserves every original word. Audible please get the full copy of The Red Tent on here!!!!

Loved it but it’s the abridged version 😢
I loved the story and the magic and wisdom on it but sadly it’s not the whole book because it’s the abridged version. I hope audible will fix this soon because I really want to list and savour every word of this wonderful book.
