//The Other Boleyn Girl// by Phillippa Gregory //The Red Tent// by Anita Diamant

Sibling rivalry and royal intrigue are at the heart of this Philippa Gregory's historical novel. With diabolical delight, the author of //The Queen's Fool// etches the story of the unsisterly machinations of Anne Boleyn and her sibling Mary. Though the story of King Henry VIII and his contentious consorts has been told often, //The Other Boleyn Girl// sustains our interest.

I chose the //Other Boleyn Girl// by Philippa Gregory as an important book to me because it enlightened me on the the old English courts, and how all the pretty faces and pretty dress were not what they seemed. The love that people share was to be thrown into a coner instead of embraced. It was intriguing, and one of my most favorite books in the whole world.

Few stories can evoke a time and place as vividly as Anita Diamant's compelling tale sprung from the pages of the Old Testament. //The Red Tent// is the story of Jacob's daughter, Dinah, and Jacob's four wives, who all served as Dinah's mother at some point in time. Leah, Rachel, Zilpah, and Bilhah all bring their own unique gifts and influences to bear on Dinah's life. As Diamant explores the trials and triumphs of ancient women, she brings a foreign yet beautiful world to life as seen through the emotional filter of Dinah's eyes. This lush, evocative tale transcends time and brings new life to the Old Testament, lending a feminine touch to the mighty word of God.

The other book i chose was //The Red Tent// by Anita Diamant. I chose this book because it told a story of the relationship between female mmebers of a family. That their bonds were so strong and the love they had for each other never ended. I could easily say that this book changed my view on life for the better.
