Every tour of the house with its portraits on the walls reminds Dede of the past. Only the "sister who survived" knows how sincere and courageous Las Mariposas—the "Butterflies"—were, heroines of the Dominican Republic. Religious Patria, ambitious Minerva, and carefree Mate grew up, fell in love, and dreamed of the future. But Rafael Trujillo's regime poisoned their lives, turning their homeland into a cage the size of the entire country.

For Julia Alvarez, whose family barely escaped the dictator's vengeance, the story of the Mirabal sisters is deeply personal. The author gave a voice to each of the "Butterflies." She restored to the women who fought against the tyrant and became a national myth the right to doubt, to be angry, to be cowardly, to despise—to be themselves. The author's authentic stories and poetic language have made this poignant novel a national classic and an international bestseller.
