En 1960, en la República Dominicana, cuatro piadosas hermanas católicas fueron asesinadas tras visitar a sus esposos, encarcelados por sospecha de rebeldía. Las hermanas Mirabal se convirtieron en figuras míticas de su país, conocidas como las Mariposas. Tres décadas después, Julia Álvarez las devuelve a la vida en esta aclamada novela, donde Patria, Minerva, María Teresa y Dedé narran sus historias a través de los años. Desde secretos de infancia hasta el contrabando de armas y la tortura en prisión, sus vidas entrelazadas revelan los horrores cotidianos bajo la dictadura de Trujillo y el extraordinario coraje de mujeres que lo sacrificaron todo por la libertad.

English Translation

In the Time of the Butterflies

In 1960, in the Dominican Republic, four devout Catholic sisters were assassinated after visiting their husbands, who had been jailed as suspected rebels. The Mirabal sisters became legendary in their homeland, known as Las Mariposas—the Butterflies. Three decades later, Julia Álvarez brings them vividly back to life in this acclaimed novel, weaving together Patria, Minerva, María Teresa, and Dedé's voices across the decades. From childhood secrets to smuggled weapons and prison torture, their intertwined stories reveal the everyday horrors of life under dictator Trujillo and the extraordinary courage of women who sacrificed everything for freedom.
