What do you know about Trujillo's dictatorship in the Dominican Republic? For our September book club pick, Jen and Ashley discuss Julia Alvarez's classic book In the Time of the Butterflies (
Bookshop.org |
Libro.fm), which is a historical fictional account of the four Mirabal sisters.
We also share our pairings including Mario Vargas Llosa’s The Feast of the Goat (
Bookshop.org |
Libro.fm) and Daniel José Older’s The Book of Lost Saints (
Bookshop.org |
Libro.fm). Celeste Ng's Our Missing Hearts (
Bookshop.org |
Libro.fm), which we read as our January 2023 book club pick and
discussed on episode 246, would also be an excellent near-future dystopian fiction pairing.
