My rating: 4/5
This book is about the Mirabal family, back in the 50s and 60s in Puerto Rico. They have
4 daughters: Patria, DeDe, Minerva, and Maria Teresa. The story follows the
girls until they grow up to be adults, and find their way in the revolutionary
movement against their dictator, Trujillo.
Each chapter of the book is from the perspective of one of the sisters, and
Maria’s is in the form of a diary. I’m not actually sure why, but I liked these
chapters way better than the others. But all in all, the book was perfect. The characters
were fully developed and believable. The dialogues made sense. Everything was
in its place. The only thing that made my read a little slow, was that the pace
of the events in the book was really slow at the beginning and for me, it was a
little boring. And also, I’m not that into political or revolution-oriented
stories, and that’s why I’m giving it a rating of 4. But I highly recommend
you to read this one!
