Anyone else read this? Care to commiserate? Did you cry as much as I did or am I really lame?
I even wrote about it in my journal: "I finally read The Red Tent, which, I am ashamed to admit, left me wallowing in bed in a puddle of my own tears. Dear god. I knew what was going to happen; I went to Sunday School. I know all about Dinah. I even knew this particular author's slant on the story. But I didn't know I would actually care about these characters enough to feel it like I did. Kudos to Anita Diamont for so much research, gorgeous writing, and making me weep over something I was sure I would find incredibly dull."
I'm wondering how other people felt about this retelling of a much older story.
