Actualmente no hay Conversaciones sobre este libro. 13/01/2024 SPCA Bookshop Told from 4 different women's point of view from 70 CE to 77 CE, the four women work in the Dovecotes of the Masada, a fortress from Herod's time that the Jews thought could never be breached by the Romans, until it was. Background in various forms of "magic", visions and manipulation amongst four very strong women.
You could call it a hoopla sandwich. On the back cover, a blurb from a famous, widely respected author describing the novel as “a major contribution to 21st-century literature.” On the jacket flap, a publisher’s summary proclaiming this book to be the writer’s “masterpiece.” Yet in between, instead of a gripping work of fiction that lives up to this praise, is a long novel full of middling descriptions, hackneyed characters and histrionic plot twists. Tiene la adaptación
A tale inspired by the tragic first-century massacre of hundreds of Jewish people at Masada presents the stories of a hated daughter, a baker's wife, a girl disguised as a warrior, and a medicine woman who keep doves and secrets while Roman soldiers draw near.
