ArialFantastic book, puts that time in history in a different setting, and women in particular. Have loaned my copy to several people, and it's making the rounds in the book clubs here. A great read. Judie I just finished The Red Tent. I highly recommend it. Interesting, the way it was written- a biblical fiction written by a woman in biblical history and written in the first person. Has anyone else read this book? What did you think? Quite spiritual, IMO.
