In the Time of the ButterfliesIt is November 25, 1960, and the bodies of three beautiful, convent educated sisters have been found near their wrecked Jeep at the bottom of a 150 foot cliff on the north coast of the Dominican Republic. El Caribe, the official newspaper, reports their deaths as an accident. It does not mention that a fourth sister lives. Nor does it explain that the sisters were among the leading opponents of Gen.

It is November 25, 1960, and the bodies of three beautiful, convent-educated sisters have been found near their wrecked Jeep at the bottom of a 150-foot cliff on the north coast of the Dominican Republic. El Caribe, the official newspaper, reports their deaths as an accident. It does not mention that a fourth sister lives. Nor does it explain that the sisters were among the leading opponents of Gen. Raphael Leonidas Trujillo's dictatorship. It doesn't have to. Everyone knows of Las Mariposas - "The Butterflies." Now, three decades later, Julia Alvarez, also a daughter of the Dominican Republic and long haunted by these sisters, immerses us in a tangled and dangerous moment in Hispanic Caribbean history to tell their story in the only way it can truly be understood - through fiction. In this brilliantly characterized novel, the voices of all four sisters - Minerva, Patria, Maria Teresa, and Dede - speak across the decades, to tell their own stories - from hair ribbons to gunrunning to prison torture - and to describe the everyday horrors of life under Trujillo's rule. The Butterflies were extraordinary women. Minerva, once the object of the dictator's desire, had dared to publicly slap his face. Devout Patria found her calling to the uprising through the church. Alluring - and vain - Maria Teresa joined in pursuit of romance. Only Dede, the practical one, the most diligent in her duty to family and tradition, kept apart. And only she survived to see that their names were remembered. Now, through the art and magic of Julia Alvarez's imagination, the martyred Butterflies live again. And Dede joins them as a heroine of equal courage.

perfect holo glitter spray!
This glitter spray is amazing! It's so pretty and holographic and it stuck to my skin so well! The reflect is so vibrant especially under flash. It sprays nice and evenly with a good mist. The only slightly negative aspect is the smell but it fades away and isn't noticeable under a body spray or perfume. It washes away easily too and as someone with very sensitive skin I'm happy to say it doesn't irritate me at all!

Perfect.glitter application
Great glitter quality, but the perfum-y odor is too strong for my taste. It stays with you. Other than the perfume odor, the glitter is very easy to use and coats evenly.

Great bling and glitter!
Love, love, love this glitter hairspray! Wish it came it "autoship" because I wear it every time I go out. I get so many compliments on it. Everyone loves how my hair just "glitters"! You can use almost til bottom of can and lasts a long time. Just love the colors and wish it came it more colors. Great product!

Horrible smell
Bought this to use on my hair smells so bad. I can’t even use it. The consistency is not my favorite. The glitter is too fine. Will look for a better product next time. Would definitely not buy again

Great hair/body spray
Sprays on easily and evenly haven’t had any issues with clogging. Has no smell and great even consistent sparkle. This took awhile to be delivered but overall happy with this purchase. Did not wash off in pool but washes off in shower easily.
