I like Alice Hoffman's style of writing and the story most certainly held my interest but the brutality and magical realism was hard to stomach. Still it is one of her better books and worth the read, if you are interested in reading about biblical times, when the Romans have conquered all by the last holdout of the Jews, at King Herod's palace. Her historical research seems to be good.
