In the Time of the Butterflies Julia Alvarez

Praise for In the Time of the Butterflies “shaped from real life and death during the violent twilight of Dominican dictator Rafael Trujillo’s long reign of terror…a rippling tale of everyday life and unself-conscious heroism.” Chicago Tribune “Imagination and history in sublime combination…Read this book for the novel it is. Read this book for the place it takes you. Read this book and take courage.” Denver Post “I was moved to tears, not of sadness but of joy. The sisters Mirabal continue to live as long as women like Julia Alvarez are brave enough to tell their story…a novel of great carino.” Sandra Cisneros, author of The House on Mango Street

Julia Alvarez Born in New York City in 1950 Moved with her family back to their native Dominican Republic Ten years later fled they fled back to the U.S. as political refugees Her work is inspired by her life experiences

Julia Alvarez – National Medal of Arts (2013) According to the National Endowment for the Arts, Alvarez was selected for the honor "for her extraordinary storytelling. In poetry and in prose, Ms. Alvarez explores themes of identity, family, and cultural divides. She illustrates the complexity of navigating two worlds and reveals the human capacity for strength in the face of oppression."
