In The Time Of The Butterflies - Julia Alvarez
I think after reading In The Name Of Salome and then reading this book, Alvarez has officially become one of my favorite authors. This book is very well written. The chapters are told through the perspective of the four sisters and proceed to tell the story of a family living under the dictatorship during the early/mid 1900's in the Dominican Republic. It is told in a way that makes you want to continue reading to see what happens next and manages to really pull together to the history of the nation during the dictatorship. I would highly recommend this book to, well, I think everyone. The book combines history with true fiction, something I think we all can enjoy escaping to during some point in our lives. Great book!
Next: Island - Aldous Huxley
