Description
Scribner is delighted to announce the publication, on October 4, 2011, of Alice Hoffman's glorious new novel, THE DOVEKEEPERS. It took Hoffman five years to research and write this book, and in addition to being her most ambitious we also think it is her masterpiece - her Beloved. So it is especially gratifying that Toni Morrison herself has weighed in, calling the novel "beautiful, harrowing, a major contribution to twenty-first century literature."
Set in ancient Israel, THE DOVEKEEPERS is based on the true events of Masada. The Romans' siege of Masada in 70 CE is one of the most significant events in Jewish history. Nine hundred Jews held out against the Romans for months on a mountain about 60 miles from Jerusalem. All but two women and five children were massacred.
