Book Description

Vintage Espanol August 25, 2009
La conmovedora historia en primera persona de las “mariposas” y el movimiento que derrotó una dictadura

“¿Por qué a usted no la mataron?”, le preguntan constantemente a Dedé Mirabal. “Quedé viva para contarles la historia”, responde ella. Y en las páginas de Vivas en su jardín hace exactamente eso: nos cuenta la historia de sus tres hermanas, Patria, Minerva y María Teresa, conocidas como “las mariposas”, cuya oposición a la dictadura de Rafael Leónidas Trujillo les costó la vida, sacudió los cimientos de la sociedad dominicana y desencadenó los acontecimientos que llevaron al asesinato del dictador y el derribo de su brutal régimen. Su presencia y su cercanía a los hechos y a los personajes de esta historia nos ofrece una mirada íntima y sin precedentes a cuatro heroínas modernas y a los hechos que forjaron una nación.

Editorial Reviews

Review

“En estas páginas Dedé habla de sus hermanas como seres humanos, carne y sangre, haciendo notar que el heroísmo puede vivir en todos nosotros… Pero no menciona lo que quizás nos parece natural: su propio heroísmo, fácil de pasar por alto”.
–De la introducción de Julia Alvarez

Vivas en su jardín se destaca por su valor irrepetible: este entrañable testimonio es la historia narrada desde adentro, dictada por la memoria que la vivió”.
–Eduardo Galeano, autor de Las venas abiertas de América Latina

About the Author

Bélgica Adela Mirabal (Dedé) nació en la República Dominicana en 1925 y es la única superviviente de las cuatro hermanas. Vive en Salcedo, donde dirige el Museo Hermanas Mirabal, dedicado a preservar la memoria de sus hermanas.

5.0 out of 5 stars A long awaited gem, February 3, 2010
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Vivas en su jardin (Vintage Espanol) (Spanish Edition) (Paperback)
The Mirabal sister's story is inspiring. Julia Alvarez made them available for the american public.
Now, the only survivor of the murder of the three sisters speaks her truth.
Well written. Captivating as the real story is.
It is a privilege to listen to Dedé Mirabal as she pours her memories and heart out to us.
Highly recommended.
