I just finished reading
The Red Tent by Ania Dianmant
It's a story told in Dinah's voice and begins with the story of her mothers ..Leah, Rachel, Zilpah, and Bilhah..the four wives of Jacob.
I absolutely loved the book and it gave me an inside track on what it would have been like for women in that biblical of times.
Actually I found it quite fascinating.

A Breath of Snow and Ashes - it is the 6th installment in a series by Diana Gabaldon.
We have that, but Dave gets to read it first. It was a birthday present to him from Princess. Our whole family is reading those books.
Currently I am reading Predator, by Patricia Cornwell. (the latest Kay Scarpetta novel)
Next: The Five People you Meet in Heaven, by Mitch Albom (I have an autographed copy, a gift from Esmerelda/Fleur); already packed in my suitcase are two books that two of my kids gave me for our trip to Hawaii next week. One is about Anne Boleyn's sister, Mary Boleyn, called The Other Boleyn Girl by Phillipa Gregory, and the other is a sci-fi book our eldest son gave me. I don't normally read science fiction but he was very excited for me to read this one, and bought it for me especially so it must be good. I can't tell you the title because it's packed in the bedroom and Dave is asleep.
I just finished reading The Red Tent ; ; by Ania DianmantI read that a couple of years ago. I really, really enjoyed it.
