Travel back in time with these classic historical fiction novels that rewrite patriarchy and oppression from a woman's perspective.
The Red Tent: Her name is Dinah. In the Bible, her life is only hinted at in a brief and violent detour within the more familiar chapters of the Book of Genesis that tell of her father, Jacob, and his twelve sons. Told in Dinah's voice, Anita Diamant imagines the traditions and turmoils of ancient womanhood--the world of the red tent. It begins with the story of the mothers--Leah, Rachel, Zilpah, and Bilhah--the four wives of Jacob.
Beloved: An unflinchingly look into the abyss of slavery, from the acclaimed Nobel Prize winner Toni Morrison. This spellbinding novel transforms history into a story as powerful as Exodus and as intimate as a lullaby. With a new afterword.
Mornings in Jenin: We follow the Abulhejo family as they live through a half century of violent history. Amidst the loss and fear, hatred and pain, as their tents are replaced by more forebodingly permanent cinderblock huts, there is always the waiting, waiting to return to a lost home. A Novel by Susan Abulhawa.
