JULIA ALVAREZ’S
In the Time of the Butterflies
A work of historical fiction, In the Time of the Butterflies honors the lives of Patria, Minerva, and María Teresa Mirabal, who became icons of freedom after their assassination in 1960. Their role in the Dominican Republic’s underground resistance helped topple the brutal, decades-long dictatorship of Rafael Trujillo.
The Big Read is a program of the National Endowment for the Arts in partnership with Arts Midwest. For more information, visit www.neabigread.org.
