The Red Tent, by Anita Diamant. This is the single most beautiful book I've ever read. Years ago -- maybe 2 or 3 -- my dad handed it to me and told me I should read it. I took it home and put it on my bookshelf. I glanced at it several times but never picked it up to read until this week. If you ever find yourself with the chance to read this book, do it. But be prepared to be overwhelmed and moved, and for every understanding you thought had about the early books in the Old Testament to be replaced. It's so worth it.
I loved that book! You've inspired me to dig it out and read it again!
