A few years ago I fell down an archeological rabbit hole. Let's be honest. I jumped down an archeological rabbit hole. It started with The Red Tent by Anita Diamant. It was such a great "alternative" (in quotes because whenever a woman tells a version of a story and it isn't the inherently male version it's classified as "alternative") version of "old testament" (as if life was defined by the Christians) life that I had to know more.
