The dovekeepers - Alice Hoffman

 


From the back cover: 'In 70AD, nine hundred Jews held out for months against armies of Romans on a mountain outside the Judean desert, Masada. Two women and five children survived. Based on this tragic event, The Dovekeepers is a spellbinding tale of four extraordinary bold and resourceful women, whose lives intersect in the desperate days of the siege'.

I didnt love this book. It was ok and I persisted until the end. I think i got a bit bogged down in the whole history and war between the Jews and Romans.. i just didnt power through it like I do with some novels.
