| 520 | |a "It is November 25, 1960, and three sisters have been found near their wrecked Jeep at the bottom of a 150-foot cliff on the north coast of the Dominican Republic. The official state newspaper reports their deaths as accidental. It does not mention that a fourth sister lives. Nor does it explain that the young women were among the leading opponents of General Rafael Leonidas Trujillo dictatorship. It doesn't have to. Everybody knows of Las Mariposas-- the Butterflies." In this extraordinary novel, the voices of all four sisters--Minerva, Patria, María Teresa, and the survivor, Dedé--speak across the decades to tell their own stories, from hair ribbons and secret crushes to gunrunning and prison torture, and to describe the everyday horrors of life under Trujillo's rule. Through the art and magic of Julia Alvarez's imaginative storytelling, the martyred Butterflies live again in this novel of courage, love, and the human cost of political oppression" (4ème de couverture) | ||
