In the Time of the Butterflies,
by Judith Alverez
This is a wonderful story about 4 sisters growing up in the
Dominican Republic during the 1960's under the Trujuillo dictatorship. Written
as a novel, it is based on a true story. Alverez does a wonderful job of
describing the beautiful landscape of the Dominican Republic and makes tragic
events in the history of that country come alive.
