Yael is the assassin’s daughter, Revka’s life has been torn apart by the Romans, Aziza has been raised as a warrior and Shirah is wise in the ways of ancient magic. Only two women and five children survived.īased on this tragic event, Alice Hoffman weaves a spellbinding story about the lives of four bold and remarkable women during desperate days of the siege of Masada, when supplies are dwindling and the Romans are drawing near. In the year 70 CE, nine hundred Jews held out for months against the Roman army in ancient Israel. ‘A major contribution to twenty-first-century literature’ Toni Morrison, Nobel Laureate and author of Beloved
