The dovekeepers

Hoffman, Alice

Notes
'A favorite of 2011 by 'NPR', 'The Seattle Times' and the 'St Louis Post-Dispatch'. In 70 AD, 900 Jews held out for months against armies of Romans on a mountain outside the Judean desert, Masada. Two women and five children survived. A spellbinding tale of four extraordinary women in the desperate days of the siege. All are dovekeepers, all are keeping secrets.
