book.review.

I just finished reading "the red tent" by Anita Diamant. This book retells the story of Dinah, which is a biblical story in the book of Genesis, Chapter 34. The book recounts Jacob and the murderous behavior of his sons and is told from Dinah's perspective and the point of view of the women around her. Whether you are familiar or not with the story of Jacob and his sons from the bible - it does not matter.....PLEASE go out and buy a copy as soon as you can...it's a MUST READ.

Beautifully told, this book is about being a mother, the love of sisters, friendship, the bond that ties all women together, the beauty of being pregnant, the miracle of giving birth. I couldn't put it down. Run, don't walk to your nearest bookstore.

Next up on my list is from the author of "eat, pray, love." Elizabeth Gilbert...I instantly fell in love with "eat, pray, love" and knew that when her newest book was released "committed" I would have to go buy it....just bought it yesterday and stayed up late into the night reading it.
