ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

Alice Hoffman's "The Dovekeepers" tells the story of several women living in the fortress of Masada during the Roman siege of 70 C.E. The narrative centers on the lives of these women and how they cope with the challenges of war, religious conflict, and personal struggles. The women include a red-haired daughter of an assassin, a baker's wife, and a mother who had once been a temple priestess, all connected by a common fate and the need to survive. They form complex bonds of friendship and face difficult choices in a time of great upheaval, experiencing love, loss, betrayal, and the search for meaning in a brutal world. The story explores themes of faith, resilience, and the enduring power of the human spirit in the face of overwhelming odds.
