Alice Hoffman's The Dovekeepers
Hoffman's books tend to be hit or miss for me--either I like them pretty well, or dislike them with a strong passion. But this one--about four women living in Masada just before the Roman siege--intrigued me. And I will say, it's one of Hoffman's stronger works. Each woman's story is compelling and Hoffman clearly did her research. The end is a bit overly dramatic, but I don't think it could have been any other way (Masada, ya know?). B+.
