Review by Debby Waldman
Excerpt:
Over 20-some novels, including The Red Garden and The Story Sisters, Hoffman has won well-deserved accolades for crafting intelligent page-turners about women imbued with magic. Shed’s outdone herself on that count here. Inspired by a visit to Masada, she has brought the community to life through the eyes of four unforgettable female characters.
