To be honest, after seeing the cover and reading the description, I wasn't interested. It didn't seem to be the kind of book I would like (Christian fiction rarely interests me, with the singular exception of Redeeming Love) but I have not stopped hearing about this one from several friends I really love and trust. I finally put it in my stack of books to read this summer, and let me tell you: I AM SO GLAD I READ THIS. I legitimately loved it. The book is the story of Dinah, a woman who is scarcely mentioned in the Bible although her family is extremely popular in its pages (her dad is Jacob, who married Leah, Rachel, Zilpah, and Bilhah). This book was beautifully told, and a fascinating look at what it could have meant to be a woman in those days. It was a little slow to get going, but as I kept reading, I fell in love with Dinah and wanted to follow her story to the end, through all the tangled family relationships and heartbreak and struggles of being a woman in that time. Her story (although fictionalized here, I know) is a stunning one, and I can't recommend this book enough.
