This book was not what I expected. The story and the narrator were so good I could not stop listening. I can't help thinking how nice it would be to have some of their practices today.

A rich, poetic and epic story written with great insight into the vicissitudes of human nature and family, set more than 2000 years ago. The viewpoint of the female protagonist compellingly represents Canaanite and Egyptian culture, rites and the roles of women — and their relationships; demonstrating an extraordinarily well researched novel.

I have no words for the beauty of this book. Loved it!

I come back to this story when I need a beautiful reminder of the heroic nature of women back to biblical times. I wish we could be more like these women today.

Very informative. Beautiful to see the story from this point of view

I love this book. Reminds me of how far we’ve come as humankind and how far we have to go. It’s a quite an intense story but an easy read.

Enjoyed, loved a woman’s side of biblical times.

This book is very interesting! A great true historical novel. I think I preferred it more when I read it than I did listening to it. But I can’t say why exactly.

I absolutely loved this beautiful story! I have had The Red Tent on my wish list for years, but I'm glad that I finally listened to it after becoming a mother.

ok but wouldn't recommend it to anyone

I don’t like the hateful attitude and vulgar telling of this story. I don’t think Christian should listen to this book. I am sure those beautiful women where not that nasty.

The novel isn't my favorite and this was my second time to read it. The narrator is pretty good , though sometimes could have been more expressive.
