The Red Tent is a well researched novel about the women of biblical times; specifically‚ the wives of Jacob‚ and his only daughter‚ Dinah. The separation between the world of men and the world of women was mental‚ spiritual‚ as well as physical.

The present-day prisons make it

One incident proving that Jim acts naive occurs halfway through the novel‚ when the Duke first comes into the scene “By right I am a duke!
