In the Time of Butterflies

by: Julia Alvarez

I don't know where I heard about/read about this book, but I did, it was on my list, it was in the library, so I read it....barely.

It held my interest because it was about a subject I knew nothing about. It is a fiction book, but it is based on the revolution in the Dominican (Republic). It was a dictatorship. There were 4 sisters, 3 very active in the revolution. The 3 sisters are killed. It is their story.

It seemed long and arduous, as I assume the revolution was, but I didn't really enjoy living through it. I am glad I finished. I can't really recommend it. But I do recommend reading books about subjects that you can learn about. Just find a more interesting book.
