The Red Tent

By Anita Diamant is a great book, unputdownable really, hence my lack of blogging of late, please forgive me folks, I am basking in the ancient imagery something I rarely do being.a modern history sort (by modern I tend to mean anything after 1600 btw)  but now I am enjoying it, I am thinking of ancient Sumer, of Egypt, Rome, Greece and the Moorish empire, I am riveted and inspired.
