A review by lurdesabruscato
The Dovekeepers by Alice Hoffman

5.0

The story of Masada, the ancient Judean stronghold known to have held off Roman forces for months, is recounted through four unique female voices: a motherless wanderer, a baker's wife, a warrior's daughter, and a purported witch. Both brutal and beautiful, their stories are rich in everyday details and heroic deeds. Through their haunting experiences, Hoffman lovingly explores the concepts of motherhood, bravery, love, and loss.
