Great book, that's available in English and other languages. I found it incredible as it shares how the Mirabal sisters dealed living under the dictatorship of Trujillo in Dominican Republic. Although the book says it's a fictionalized account, it felt very real and I could see the writer realized an excellent investigation to tell this story. I highly recommend it if you like historical books, Caribbean topics or realistic stories.
