In the Time of the Butterflies is inspired by the true story of the three Mirabal sisters who, in 1960, were murdered for their part in an underground plot to overthrow the government. This is a tale of courage and sisterhood set in the Dominican Republic during the rise of the Trujillo dictatorship.
There are many themes that resound through this novel, but the most obvious are the fight against dictatorship, the importance of family, and courage in the face of danger.
