Don't bother it took a biblical story and turned it into a trashy daytime soap opera. Terrible book.

This book tore me apart but still managed to be inspiring by the ending, definitely not a book I will forget any time soon. Makes me rethink a lot of the book of Genesis. Highly recommend, just proceed with caution for expected Biblical time grossness.

This book was unbelievable: the characters were really well developed, believable, and relatable. I loved that Diamant created this world about which we know only a little and made it so concrete and realistic. I also loved the relationships these women had with one another: part friendship/solidarity, part competition/jealousy.

This was so interesting. It made me wish that the story had some hidden truths about Dinah’s history.

Loved this book! I particularly enjoyed the romanticism around the human body and what woman can do in general. We don't see a lot of these days, but it's a great reminder.
