Роман Аниты Диамант рассказывает о жизни библейской героини по имени Дина. Единственная дочь Иакова на страницах произведения обретает голос, убедительно доказывая, что не мужчины, а именно жены и дочери Иакова, собиравшиеся вместе в Красном шатре, чтобы готовить еду, рожать, воспитывать детей, а также передавать друг другу древние знания, и были истинными вершителями судеб. Авторский взгляд на древнюю историю в чем-то оказывается очень современным, а в чем-то - весьма необычным, но от этого еще более привлекательным.

The red tent is the place where women gathered during their cycles of birthing, menses, and even illness. Like the conversations and mysteries held within this feminine tent, this sweeping piece of fiction offers an insider's look at the daily life of a biblical sorority of mothers and wives and their one and only daughter, Dinah. Told in the voice of Jacob's daughter Dinah (who only received a glimpse of recognition in the Book of Genesis), we are privy to the fascinating feminine characters who bled within the red tent. In a confiding and poetic voice, Dinah whispers stories of her four mothers, Rachel, Leah, Zilpah, and Bilhah--all wives…

The tiny rural backwater of Dogtown nestled on Cape Ann and hugging the Massachusetts coast line, is a place that is reputedly dying, but its few remaining inhabitants show an enduring spirit that keeps a small flame of life alight. For here, in this forgotten hamlet, lives a cast of dignified, yet utterly eccentric characters. Black Ruth is one of only two Africans still living in the area; she dresses as a man, speaks to no-one, and continues her craft as the local stonemason, casting love and care over the stones she hews. Mrs Stanley is blousey, blonde and the local madam; a woman of total self-absorption, who cares nothing for her young grandson, coming of age amid the sights and sounds of a wretched rural brothel. Oliver Younger, a man with ambition, overcomes a cruel and miserable childhood to marry the woman of his dreams and create a family infused with love. At the centre of it all is Judy Rhines, a fiercely independent woman, generous and wise, but also heartbroken and lonely, whose taboo love for Cornelius, a former slave, burns at the core of her soul.
Loosely based on the true story of a community, The Last Days of Dogtown is a rich, compassionate and compelling novel which illuminates a small, but vivid, chapter of nineteenth century America.

שמה דינה. בתנ"ך מוזכרים חייה כאפיזודה קצרה ואלימה, המופיעה בינות לפרקים מוכרים הרבה יותר בספר בראשית, העוסקים באביה יעקב ובתריסר בניו. ספר זה המסופר בגוף ראשון, מגלה את תולדותיה וחייה רבי התהפוכות של דינה ושל הנשים בעולמה. האוהל האדום, שבו אין לגברים דריסת רגל, הוא מעון הנשים בתקופת נידתן. בו מתרחשות דרמות, קנאות ואהבות, ובו יוצאים לאוויר העולם ילדים וסודות כמוסים. דינה סופגת שם את יסודות החוכמה הנשית ואת המסורת העתיקה של האמהות שלה: לאה, רחל, זלפה ובלהה. סביב ההתרחשויות באוהל האדום מתעצבת האישיות והמודעות הנשית של דינה בת יעקב. סיפור חייה של דינה עובר על הגבול הדק שבין עומצה לחוסר אונים, בין עצמאות לקבלת הדין, בין יצר ההישרדות לייאוש קיומי. אניטה דיאמנט מעניקה לסיפורה של דינה פרשנות מקורית וייחודית שמאירה באור חדש את האפיזודה התנ"כית ומחיה בה את הרגשות, הסערות, העצב והכאב, את אכזריותו של רגש הקנאה ואת תוצאותיו ההרסניות. האוהל האדום, שעולה מתוך תקופה של ראשית ההיסטוריה, הוא סיפור נוגע ללב וגם הישג רב ערך בספרות המודרנית, אשר מאפשר לקוראים להתבונן התבוננות חדשה בחברה הנשית התנ"כית.

Good Harbor is the long stretch of Cape Ann beach where two women friends walk and talk, sharing their personal histories and learning life's lessons from each other. Kathleen Levine, a longtime resident of Gloucester, Massachusetts, is maternal and steady, a devoted children's librarian, a convert to Judaism, and mother to two grown sons. When her serene life is thrown into turmoil by a diagnosis of breast cancer at fifty-nine, painful past secrets emerge and she desperately needs a friend. Forty-two-year-old Joyce Tabachnik is a sharp-witted freelance writer who is also at a fragile point in her life. She's come to Gloucester to follow her literary aspirations, but realizes that her husband and young daughter are becoming increasingly distant. Together, Kathleen and Joyce forge a once-in-a-lifetime bond and help each other to confront scars left by old emotional wounds.

Diamant anticipates all the questions, doubts, and concerns, and provides a comprehensive explanation of the rules and rituals of conversion.
