The Dovekeepers by Alice Hoffman
Nearly 2000 years ago, nine hundred Jews held out for months against armies of Romans on Masada, a mountain in the Judean desert. According to the ancient historian Josephus, two women and five children survived. Based on this tragic event, Hoffman's novel is a spellbinding tale of four bold, resourceful women, each of whom has come to Masada by a different path. The lives of these women intersect in the desperate days of the siege.
