BUENA DESMITIFICACION (2/3 people found this helpful)
CONSIDERO ESTE LIBRO COMO UNO DE LOS MEJORES DE JULIA ALVAREZ. ESTE LIBRO DESMITIFICA LAS HERMANAS MIRABAL Y LAS LLEVA A UN CONTEXTO MAS HUMANO, MENOS IDEALISTA Y MAS REALISTA, MAS PROXIMO A NOSOTROS QUE NO ESTUVIMOS AHI Y NECESITAMOS MARCOS DE REFERENCIAS. NO QUEREMOS TENER HEROES Y HEROINAS QUE PAREZCAN INIMITABLES, SINO PERSONAS DE CARNE Y HUESO QUE LUCHEN HASTA EL FINAL POR LO QUE CREEN. EXCELENTE LECTURA
EXTREMELY MOVING (1/1 people found this helpful)
MARVELLOUS WRITTING. THIS BOOK PRESENTS A MORE HUMAN TOUCH TO THE STORY OF THE MIRAVAL SISTERS. I GREW UP IN THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC , AND STUDIED THE LIVES OF THE MIRAVAL SISTERS AS PART OF MY HISTORY COURSES. AFTER READING THIS BOOK, THE FACTS I LEARNED IN SCHOOL HAVE GAINED A NEW LIGHT.
Julia Alvarez -- The voice of the Dominican woman! (1/1 people found this helpful)
The story of the Mirabal sisters is sad but true. Julia Alvarez captures the essence of all the different sides of a Dominican woman. It opened up to me the Dominican history I had only briefly heard about. The women are strong and loyal to their family--something instilled in all Dominican women.I was left with a certain sadness that the story had to come to an end. I would recommend it to my friends!
