Just finished The Red Tent

by Anita Diamant and it was sooooooooooooo good - I had to go to the bookstore and buy my own copy! Anyone read it and have suggestions for similar books?

I just finished it too...very good story. Too bad the author doesnt usually write novels, i would probably buy her other books.

Re: Just finished The Red Tent

One of my most favorite books - absolutely loved the story...made me want my own 'red tent'!

Memoirs of a Geisha (S. Golden) is also a phenomenally written story...
Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West (G. Maguire) is another of my most favorite stories.

Lisa, the friend who recommended the book to me a few years ago...her & I were hellbent on creating a 'red tent' for ourselves and all the beloved women in our lives.

It was more a pipe dream than anything...but I plan on incorporating the idea of one, when (if) I have a daughter. I will probably do it with my FHs niece - who I just adore - cause FSIL absolutely HATES anything to do with menses. Which I think is just plain weird.

I dont understand how woman now a days are so grossed out by our mensus. Im not saying that I do a dance, but I thank my body each month for doing what its supposed to do. Maybe that sounds wierd but then again, that is what makes the world go round!!
