La Fin.

Finished: The Red Tent, by Anita Diamant.

redtent

4 of 5 stars. The second half of book felt a bit rushed, but the story was beautiful, the characters rich, and the scenes amazing. I loved hearing a biblical story through the eyes of a woman. It is interesting to read of midwives, of women as sisters and wives, of lovers of their own gods, of lovers of their shared husbands. It was a story that all women could relate to, and a story that teaches us all about the miracle of motherhood.

You should read it.
