I just finished "The Dovekeepers" by Alice Hoffman. The very wordy story was set in Isreal shortly after the time of Jesus. I liked the main characters and how the author wound their very diverse lives into the story, but the book was entirely too long. The author repeated the same description of the times, the land, and the characters too many times. I would have liked the book if it could be shortened.
P.J. O'Rourke advises "Always read something that will make you look good if you die in the middle of it."
Let Galesburg Public Library staff and friends guide you in finding those books.
