Anita Diamant 11/12/2009 Anita Diamant Thursday, November 12, 2009 @ 8:00 PM, Campbell Hall This is a FREE event. An Evening with the Author of The Red Tent and Day After Night: A Novel “Diamant succeeds admirably in depicting the lives of women in the age that engendered our civilization and our most enduring values.” Publishers Weekly Anita Diamant’s bestselling first novel The Red Tent, based on the Biblical story of Dinah, conjures “a compelling narrator that has timeless resonance” (Christian Science Monitor). Her latest book, Day After Night, returns to the land of The Red Tent to tell stories of women who survived the Holocaust and await the future in a British internment camp in a story of loss, hope and courage set before the founding of the state of Israel. An award-winning journalist and the author of six nonfiction guides to contemporary Jewish life, Diamant will discuss her recent work.
