Amazing! I was drawn into this world, into the lives of these four women, of the choices they made (foolish, many of them), and how it affected those around them. Devoured this book.

Certainly a worthy story - the story of the Jewish massacre at Massada. I find myself wishing we would go faster. Too much hunger and dove watching so far.
