In the Time of the Butterflies: A Special Book Club

Celebramos! Celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month

Join us as we discuss Julia Alvarez's In the Time of the Butterflies, a historical fiction novel based on the true story of the Mirabal sisters.

Set during the waning days of the Trujillo dictatorship in the Dominican Republic in 1960, this extraordinary novel tells the story the Mirabal sisters, three young wives and mothers who are assassinated after visiting their jailed husbands.

The assassination of the Mirabal sisters ultimately inspired the official establishment of the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women on November 25 of each year.
