Anita Diamant writes historical fiction and non-fiction about women's lives, family customs and religious or cultural traditions. The Red Tent retells the biblical story of Dinah, daughter of Jacob and Leah, imagining the domestic world of the women around her and using the red tent as a place for childbirth, menstruation and shared female experience. Day After Night moves to a British-run internment camp in Palestine after the Second World War, following four Jewish women who have survived different parts of the war and are waiting for uncertain futures. Diamant has also written practical non-fiction about Jewish life and rituals. The Red Tent is the natural starting point for biblical historical fiction, while Day After Night shifts Diamant's interest in women's communities into the aftermath of the Second World War.
