In the shadow of dictator Rafael Trujillo's regime in the Dominican Republic, courage takes wing in the form of Las Mariposas, the four Mirabal sisters. Their clandestine fight for freedom costs them dearly, yet their legacy endures through the generations. In the shifting voices of Minerva, Patria, Mar�a Teresa, and the surviving sibling, Ded�, their tale unfurls. From youthful passions to their brave insurgence, culminating in a tragic November day in 1960, the sisters embody the human toll of despotism. This stirring novel by Julia Alvarez, a luminary in Latinx literature, revivifies their spirit, transforming history into a resonant narrative of love, resilience, and resistance.
