Such a beautiful, heartbreaking book!
Such a beautiful, heartbreaking book!
This deserved all of the accolades and honors and awards it won. Beautiful book. Great story, fabulous writing, characters with some depth.
A retelling/twist on the Old Testament story of Jacob. It is not his story but that of his only daughter,Dinah. Told from her point of view and it is her life. I love the way Diamant takes this briefly mentioned in the Bible character and creates this entire life for her.
4.5⭐️ badass females all around.
This book had a slow start for me that I would have stopped if not an audiobook but I understand why the author set it up the way she did. I really appreciated the way sex, childbirth and menstruation were portrayed in this story. Since this book was originally recommended to me by my grandma when I was 15 I was surprised by the amount of sex talked about in the book, but nothing graphic. Soft pick because it did reel me in.
I wasn‘t really sure I liked this book enough to continue listening but didn‘t want to take the time to find a different book. Well, I‘m finally at a point where I want to keep listening and it‘s almost over. Hoping to finish this book either tonight or tomorrow!
Diamant is a very skilled writer.
It's #manicmonday!
