Each 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,” heroines of the Dominican Republic — were. Religious Patria, ambitious Minerva, and carefree Mate grew up, fell in love, and dreamed of the future. But Rafael Trujillo’s regime poisoned people’s lives, turning their homeland into a cage the size of the entire country.

For Julia Alvarez, whose family barely managed to escape the dictator’s reprisals, the story of the Mirabal sisters is deeply personal. The writer gave the floor to each of the “Butterflies.” She returned to the women who fought the tyrant and turned into a national myth the right to doubt, be angry, be cowardly, despise — to be themselves. The author’s authentic destinies and poetic language made this poignant novel a national classic and a world bestseller.
