The Gilded Chamber is NOT The Red Tent, we have to get that point out of the way right now. I’m really tired of seeing “If you liked The Red Tent, you’ll like ______” and that sort of thing used to describe these types of books.
Because The Gilded Chamber is not The Red Tent, it falls short just like all of the Biblical novels about women do. That’s not to say it wasn’t good or worth reading, it was both, it just wasn’t … The Red Tent.
So, was it anything like The Red Tent? Cuz I heard it was.
Kidding. What are the chances that The Red Tent will start a publishing phenomenon the way Bridget Jones’s Diary did in the way of chick lit?
LOL I think it already has, in a way. After The Red Tent , we saw dozens of books about women from the Bible and we’re still seeing those – more than 5 years after the fact.
I suppose the phenomenon wasn’t as big as the BJ Diary /Chick Lit thing, but still…
