ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

"The Red Tent" by Anita Diamant tells the story of Dinah, a woman whose life is briefly mentioned in the Bible. The novel explores the traditions of ancient womanhood, family honor, and the impact of male-dominated societies on women. Told from Dinah's perspective, it reveals the untold stories of her mothers and grandmothers in the red tent, a space for women’s gatherings and rituals. Dinah's life is shaped by love, betrayal, loss, and the complex dynamics of her family. The story follows her journey as she seeks to find her own path, dealing with the consequences of her brothers' actions, and ultimately finding her own voice and strength in a world that often seeks to silence women.

Tom Hardy
