The Red Tent Paperback – September 15, 1998 by Anita Diamant Her name is Dinah. In the Bible, her life is only hinted at in a brief and violent detour within the more familiar chapters of the Book of Genesis that are about her father, Jacob, and his dozen sons. Told in Dinah's voice, this novel reveals the traditions and turmoils of ancient womanhood--the world of the red tent. It begins with the story of her mothers--Leah, Rachel, Zilpah, and Bilhah--the four wives of Jacob. They love Dinah and give her gifts that sustain her through a hard-working youth, a calling to midwifery, and a new home in a foreign land. Dinah's story reaches out from a remarkable period of early history and creates an intimate connection with the past. Deeply affecting, The Red Tent combines rich storytelling with a valuable achievement in modern fiction: a new view of biblical women's society. 2.13/2.14 Product Details Publisher : St. Martins Press (September 15, 1998) Language : English Paperback : 321 pages ISBN-10 : 1565845889 ISBN-13 : 978-1565845886 Lexile measure : 1010L Item Weight : 1.05 pounds Dimensions : 6.1 x 0.89 x 9.17 inches About Us | Nate's Book Nook We at Nate's Book Nook have been serving book-lovers, books worms, book collectors & bibliophiles since 2010.

Only one meat dish in the past 12 posts! Can you see that I prefer the vegetarian diet? I think it's time for one though. I will apologize in advance for my hastily snapped photo. This is because I have made these twice and gobbled my food so quickly I forgot to take a picture. This time, mid-scarfing, I snapped a photo of my husband's plate. These are so good I have literally come home so excited to make dinner both times! The recipe is from a 2004 Country Woman magazine...is that really a real magazine?! French Dip Subs 2 Tablespoons oil 1 large onion, sliced thinly 2 cloves garlic, minced 1/2 teaspoon oregano 1/2 teaspoon rosemary 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon black pepper 500g tenderloin steaks or chuck roast, sliced thinly 1 1/2 cups water 1/2 chicken bouillon cube (or 1 1/2 cups stock) Hoagie rolls, toasted Begin by slicing the beef thinly. Partially frozen meat tends to slice thinly the easiest because it doesn't move around. Heat the oil in the bottom of an open pressure cooker over medium heat. Add the onions, sauteing until golden brown. Toss in the garlic and cook about 30 seconds until fragrant. Next, add the dried herbs, salt, and pepper, crushing them slightly in your hand. Add the sliced beef and brown in the bottom of the hot pressure cooker. Once browned, pour in the liquid and chicken bouillon. Stir, then clamp on the lid of the pressure cooker. Cook over high heat until it reaches pressure (first "whistle), turn the heat down to medium, and cook for about 30 minutes or 20 minutes more if you have a thick or tough cut of meet. Turn off the heat and allow the pressure to release naturally. Serve on toasted hoagie rolls with toppings of choice. Scoop the liquid from the pressure cooker into little dipping bowls to dip the subs as you eat.
'The past is a foreign country, they do things differently there.' L. P. Hartley. (The Go Between) This is the story of 'Jefferyland' : the story of the Jeffery family of Derbyshire who have farmed in the Dove Valley area between Ashbourne, Derby and Uttoxeter for around 400 years. The medieval 'lost village' of Hungry Bentley and the Riddings Farm were home to six generations. The Jeffery story tells of a vanishing world: a story of a family through thirteen generations with its roots in the land and whose members are now spread around the globe. Through a treasure trove of family letters, diaries, memoirs and photographs from the 1800s to the present day it reveals not only who the family's ancestors were but also glimpses of how they lived, what they wore and even what they ate. This meticulously researched family history brings to life an era of social change not only in the farming world of Derbyshire and the prairie lands of North America, but also for those Jefferys who sought their fortunes outside a life of farming.

We are \"others\" is the deeply personal true story of one family's journey through the devastating changes in Iran following the Islamic Revolution and the circumstances that led them to leave their home and become immigrants in a foreign land. Told through the lens of a woman born to a liberal family just after the revolution, a powerful tale emerges, one of resilience, determination, forgiveness, and faith.The narrator who comes to London to continue her education and after finishing his studies, becomes a citizen of England and leaves all her past behind, but it seems that the memories do not leave her. Memories follow her like shadows everywhere. But this is one dimension of the book. The other dimension of the book actually deals with some social phenomena such as the occurrence of the revolution, the causes of migration, the struggles of living in other countries, the acceptance or non-acceptance of the new society, and so on. It can be said; The life of this family is narrated in the context of social, political, economic and other events. In this book, audience understands well the impact of events such as revolutions on all social levels of a country and even other countries. Most of the time, when you hear words like revolution, only a political concept comes to mind, but the reality is that it affects people more than we think. It really changes the real course of people life, and ultimately make them something else. The narrator describes the events of the Iranian Revolution of 1957 under the leadership of Ayatollah Khomeini point by point. Events such as the occupation of the US embassy and the hostage-taking of American diplomats and the impact that this has had on the Iranian people and society for decades, international relations, etc., are well illustrated. Another highlight of this book is the Iran-Iraq war. A war that lasted eight years and all the economic infrastructure and it destroyed both countries. In addition to all these social and political events, the narrator also deals with her own family story.The audience understands well the suffering caused by migration, revolution, etc. The characters in the book are real. Characters whose unpredictable events change everything. These events cause them to peel, just like worms that cocoon around themselves, but eventually a beautiful butterfly emerges from that cold, dark cocoon and flies away. All these events cause the audience to feel sympathy for the characters in the book. A truly thought-provoking, emotional memoir, We are \"others\" is a compelling look inside the borders of Iran and the lives of a family forced to leave it behind, and a commentary on how the actions and aspirations of greedy politicians affect the lives of the people they are meant to serve. Eventually the audience comes to a conclusion. A result that may give a new look to the world, and at least the author has tried to show the audience a new world. A new, different world

Yorkshire's past is replete with bloody battles and sieges. From the earliest times armies have marched across the Yorkshire countryside and have fought for control of the land, the towns and the cities. Roman, Viking, Norman and the Scottish invaders have all contributed ruthless episodes to the story. Christian fought pagan, Englishman fought foreign invader, and loyalist fought rebel, in some of the most destructive battles of British history. And bitter internal conflicts, which set neighbour against neighbour, created an equally violent heritage as rival lords and landowners contended for power and influence in the north. David Cooke gives a vivid description of the outbreaks of warfare that have punctuated the county's history. Using graphic contemporary accounts and numerous illustrations and maps, he creates a vivid narrative of a county that was a battleground until modern times. 100 black and white illustrations
