What I loved about this book was that though it was written through the perspectives of four different female characters, each of those characters tells a continuation of the story through her own eyes amid varying positions and walks of life that bleed into one. The careful study that Hoffman has done on the Jewish sect, the Sicarii, and their last stronghold, Masada, has allowed her readers to witness an event that has been long etched into history. Hoffman is the author of over thirty works of fiction, including The Dovekeepers, which is a feat that makes her one of the most prolific authors on the market today. The Dovekeepers, a novel written in 2011 by Alice Hoffman, and its namesake TV movie, executive produced in 2015 by Mark Burnett and Roma Downey, are different entities entirely, and as a result of Hoffman’s diligent research and in-depth characters the book stands out as superior.
