The story of Dinah, the sister of the male "Twelve Tribes" mentioned in the Old Testament, and daughter to Jacob. It dramatizes the short yet violent Bible verses concerning Dinah's life, using a loose knowledge of life in ancient times.
I know several people that loved this book, but to be honest, I skipped the middle & read the end. The writing style bothered me, the plot bothered me, and the characters bothered me. Some reviewers said this wasn't a feminist book, but there were no sympathetic, moral, male characters... they were weak, violent, and petty. Sorry to say, the whole story was pretty ridiculous.
