I did not intend to re-read this book during the anniversary of the sisters' deaths, but I'm very happy to honor their memory with such an incredible book. If you aren't familiar with Las Mariposas, or Trujillo's despotic regime, then this book is a fantastic introduction! Alvarez embodies the spirit of the four sisters, and gives them new life beyond their martyrdom. I found myself falling back in love with these women, and desperately hoped the story would end in a different way. I honestly don't have enough words for how much I love this book--it's absolutely beautiful.
