A review by colleengeedrumm
The Dovekeepers by Alice Hoffman

4.0

Wow, a lot going on here. A bit repetitive and mighty superstitious, ancient times are presented here in a not-too-graphic presentation. My first Alice Hoffman, but I have some more of hers to read on my list. This book has been on my TBR since 2012, so I am happy to report finishing, and well worth it.

Herbane, holy plant.
Burned amulets at roots offering to Ashtoresh, goddess watch in time of strife.
Recipe book for human heart, all we know and all experienced contained there.
