The Red Tent
In the spirit of Krista, I will tell you about the book I just finished. It was The Red Tent, by Anita Diamant. Like a fool, here I am reading bestsellers before I go to France. The only English books you can find in France (if you're lucky) are classics and bestsellers. That's probably the only reason I read things like About a Boy and Bridget Jones's Diary before I saw the movies. Tangent.
Anyway, I thought it was a pretty good book. It was a fictional retelling of the biblical story of Dinah, told from her point of view. I suppose you would have to know the background stories to really enjoy it.
My only real complaint was that it started off slow, and therefore was a bit difficult to get into. At the beginning of the book, I thought she was never going to talk about anything besides menstruation and having sex with sheep.
Well, if that doesn't pique your interest (and get me strange search requests), what will?
