I was a bit wary going into this book, since it's a retelling of a story from Genesis in the Bible. However, I really enjoyed the female point-of-view of the book (you know, something you don't get a lot of in the Bible). The women seemed loving and protective and like a true family...though it was one of 4 wives of the same man (Jacob) and 1 daughter (main character, Dinah). I really loved it...until the last part of the book. It didn't seem to flow as the first part did, and I missed it. Love the inventiveness of the author and recommend this to women, mainly.
