### Amazon.com Review
**Amazon Best Books of the Month, October 2011:** Yael was born of a dead mother and father who knows how to become invisible. Revka learned silence when her grandsons lost their voices after witnessing their mother’s brutal murder. Aziza became a boy to protect herself, and hates being forced to turn back into a woman. And Shirah will do anything to protect those she loves from the horrors of the world. The power and violence of these women is evident in every word of *The Dovekeepers*. Hoffman’s prose is vivid and unforgettable, scorching like the desert heat, and will stay with you long after you finish the last page. A story of sacrifice, endurance, and above all, survival, *The Dovekeepers* is homage to anyone who’s ever held fast to their beliefs in the face of nearly insurmountable adversity. *\--Malissa Kent*
### Review
"Beautiful, harrowing, a major contribution to twenty **-** first century literature." **—Toni Morrison, Nobel Laureate in Literature**
"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, author of *Sing You Home***
“In her remarkable new novel, Alice Hoffman holds a mirror to our ancient past as she explores the contemporary themes of sexual desire, women's solidarity in the face of strife, and the magic that's quietly present in our day-to-day living. Put *The Dovekeepers* at the pinnacle of Hoffman's extraordinary body of work. I was blown away.” — **Wally Lamb, author of *The Hour I First Believed* **
