'Beautiful, harrowing, a major contribution to twenty-first century literature.' -- Toni Jordan, author of Addition 'I am still reeling from The Dovekeepers - from the history Alice Hoffman illuminates, from the language she uses to bring these women to life. This novel is a testament to the human spirit and to love rising from the ashes of war. But most of all, this novel is one that will never be forgotten by a reader.' -- Jodi Picoult 'Hoffman makes ancient history live and breathe in this compelling story ... This is both a feminist manifesto and a deeply felt tribute to courageous men and women of faith, told with the cadence and imagery of a biblical passage.' -- Booklist 'Hoffman births literature from tragedy ... a story of strong, intelligent women wedded to destiny by love and sacrifice ... intriguingly complex ... An enthralling tale rendered with consummate literary skill.' -- Kirkus Reviews 'Ambitious ... the suspense ... keeps you barreling forward The Dovekeepers pack[s] a timeless emotional punch.' -- Elle 'The women, each with her own secrets and talents, powerful lovers and magical spells, soon develop a loyalty so fierce that they are willing to sacrifice everything for each other and the children they are entrusted with. Hoffman can tell a story and knows about creating compassionate characters.' -- Publishers Weekly
