The official state newspaper reports their death as accidental. It does not mention that a fourth sister lives. Nor does it explain that the sisters were among the leading opponents of Gen. Rafael Leonidas Trujillo's 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 imagination, the martyred Butterflies live again in this novel of courage, love, and the human cost of political oppression"--Page 4 of cover.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Hana P/S Library Adult Fiction Alvarez Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Fiction Alvarez Checked out 07/03/2024 Add Copy to MyList Nanakuli Public Library Adult Fiction Alvarez Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Nanakuli Public Library Adult Fiction Alvarez Checked In   Add Copy to MyList
