About this book
Dinah is barely a footnote in the Book of Genesis; here she tells her own story. Raised among the four wives of Jacob, she grows up inside the red tent, the women's shelter where births, bleedings and quiet confidences are shared and where the old songs and household gods are kept alive. From the encampments of Canaan to the crowded streets of Egypt, she moves through love, midwifery, exile and reinvention. Told in a clear, intimate voice, the novel blends domestic detail, ancient ritual and a strong narrative pull, turning a familiar scriptural world into a vivid, woman-centred life story.
