THE RED TENT ANITA DIAMANT & THE BOOK OF RUTH HAMILTON

Thought these 2 novels would appeal to one reader since they are similarly linked. Both are paperbacks, slightly larger than the usual pocket sized paperback. Especially, The Red Tent. The Book Of Ruth is written by Jane Hamilton, published by Doubleday, copyright 1988, 328 numbered pages. About this award winning novel, the LA Times said, "Jane Hamilton's novel is authentically Dickensian...The real achievement of this first novel is not so much the blackness as the suggestion of resilience. At the end, Ruth begins to put together her shattered body, spirit and life. Her words are awkward, as they have been all along, but suddenly and unexpectedly, they shine." The larger book, "The Red Tent is written by Anita Diamant, published by Picador, copyright 1997, 321 numbered pages. About this novel The Boston Globe said, "An intense, vivd novel...It is tempting to say that The Red Tent is what the Bible would be like if it had been written by women, but only Diamant could have given it such sweep and grace".
