Middle Tennessee briefs: 'Red Tent' Trisha's pick for Big Big Book Club
The Tennessean's Big Big Book Club tomorrow will discuss the book selected by country superstar Trisha Yearwood, The Red Tent, written by Anita Diamant.
The discussion group will meet at noon at the downtown branch of the Nashville Public Library, 615 Church St. It's free to all, and you can even take a lunch.
The Red Tent looks at what the lives of women might have been like in biblical times. The author took a real character, Dinah, who is briefly mentioned in Genesis 34, and created a fictional life for her.
''I found it fascinating,'' Yearwood wrote of the book. ''I think there are lessons we can learn from these women today. They were as independent as they could be, given their time and circumstance.''
The Big Big Book Club is a yearlong project aimed at getting people in Middle Tennessee to read, to talk about what they read, and to visit public libraries. Tennessean Columnist Gail Kerr will give those who attend a sneak preview of the September celebrity and book.
