This is undoubtedly one of my favorite books. I love reading books by Latino/a authors, and I was not disappointed by Julia Alvarez's style of writing and ability to create a page turner. I have read this book at least two times. I really enjoyed reading the perspective of each of the Mirabal sisters. Each chapter is in the voice of one of Las Mariposas, helping the reader learn each of their stories during a time of Trujillo's dictatorship in the Dominican Republic and the despair and heartache each of them faced. There is also a movie about the book, with Salma Hayek, and it does a decent job of portraying the story.
