Told by all four sisters, this tells of their love for each other and their family, and their need to see their country, their 'brothers and sisters' be free. It's a story of a family caught up in the resistance of a dictator.
The writing is lyrical- it flows so beautifully. I listened to the audio of this.
It is narrated by four different women, each acting as one of the sisters. Two of them made way too many mouth noises. I could hear pages turning, and one mispronounced Trujillo. I ended up reading the last two chapters, instead of suffering through one woman's tongue rubbing up against her inner cheeks anymore. Ick.
Other than that, it was a great book. I just recommend reading it, not listening to it.
