I found this book spell binding. It defines what it is to be a woman and reminds us of the power and mystery of the female body and all we can achieve. Dinah must have been the most courageous woman ever.

All that is 'woman' is represented in this book. Very refreshing to see the female side of events.Thank you Diana for buying me this book.

I was stunned by this book; by its exploration of women at the centre of the cycle of life and the connection between women that crosses cultures, beliefs and generations. Anita Diamant's closing chapter redefines immortality and will move you to tears of joy and optimism.

I found this a moving and also an uplifting book. In spite of the horrific events which befell her, Dinah remains a sympathetic figure and matures into the woman I'd like to be! Female relationships are explored beautifully - a favourite book.

A wonderful book showing how the bonding and support of women for eachother has been regarded as an intrinsic part of society for many, many years - we should never lose that spirit of mutual trust and support.

This book gave me a completely new perspective on women's history, spitituality and our cultural heritage. It made me feel better about my female identity!
Tricia L. Brown
I loved this book! It showed the strengths and weaknesses of women, but mainly it proved that women are the backbone of society. An absolute joy to read, and I recommend for any woman to read it.
Heather
A beautiful book about female relationships: mothers, daughters, wifes,lovers, sisters. One of the emotive books I have read.
Alison Statham
I think it reminds us that it was the rhythmn of women's lives and their care of each other especially in childbirth which was the defining power of those nomadic, tribal people - a power which we had lost!
Sarah Eadie
It respresented the wonderfulness of "sisterhood" and the connection between a group of women
Yve Harrison
The best thing is that it shows just how bloody fantastic women are, and that we can cope with almost anything!
