Last night, I began In The Time of The Butterflies, by Julia Alvarez. I found it difficult to get into but hopefully it will turn around soon. I feel like I don't know enough about the characters or plot to make judge the entire novel yet; however, I do know that it tells the story of four Dominican sisters and the journey of how one of them lives on without the others. I'm eager to become more involved in the book and learn more about the past that separated the four girls that were once so close.
