"The Dovekeepers" by Alice Hoffman
I never expected to purchase this book, and the cover design caught my eye. I read the back and was immediately intrigued.
That tale alone is enough to dive deeper into history, discover lives deeper than fiction and learn about their tales. Who are the dovekeepers? What are their mysteries, secrets, lineage?
