This powerfully written novel gives voice to the women's perspective at an important junction in human history, the shift from Earth & season based spirituality, honoring the great mother Innana, to a male dominant, 'one God' perspective. I love Diamant's attention to detail, from the removal of the household gods (Teraphim) from Laban's altar before Jacob, 'his wives & his sons, his brindled & spotted flocks' depart, to Dinah & her mother's meeting with 'the grandmother' (Abraham's second wife) Rebecca, who dwells in the sacred grove, & keeps the old ways.
Diamant's portrayal of this group of strong & diverse women gives voice to forgotten stories. & offers another view into this time of transition. Highly recommended!

This lovely book makes you want to rush out & buy coconut oil, milk & flour! Anti-viral, fungal & bacterial, the lauric acid (MCT) in the oil kills fat coated viruses inc. Hep. C, herpes, staph & strep, HIV, & influenza. Nourising to the body & brain, no wonder the long lived Polynesians who followed a Traditional diet called it "tree of life." A great read!
This delightful tale of a quiet friendship between a lonely widow & a witch's broom that's lost most of its abilities, threatened by her unsavory neighbors' fears & suspicion, will enchant young & old. A good read about simple magic! Who doesn't want a broom like this?
