Anita Diamant’s fiction tends to center on women whose stories have gone untold. The Red Tent gave a voice to Dinah, a barely mentioned figure in Genesis. The Last Days of Dogtown drew on a real ghost town on Cape Ann, Massachusetts, and the people who lived there during its final years.
Day After Night is based on a real event at the Atlit detention camp in British Palestine, where Jewish refugees broke free in 1945. The Boston Girl, her most recent novel, is the story of an immigrant daughter growing up in Boston’s North End in the early 1900s. Each book stands on its own and can be read independently.
