Julia Alvarez: In The Time Of The Butterflies

[abecedarian]

Have any of you read In the Time of the Butterflies? If not, I hope you'll consider doing so. This fictionalized account of the lives and deaths of the Mirabal sisters from The Dominican Repbulic is well worth adding to your already staggering tbr mountain. I chose this book for my olympic challenge because Julia Alvarez was already on my 'Candidates' list, and I will definately be reading more of her work.

That does look very interesting, I looked it up at my library and placed a hold.

my english teacher handed it to me and i was just like "what the hell, i'll read it". i only got interested towards the end though-at the beggining i was kind of mad at the spoiler about who dies. But the book is a good one.
