A review by jackielayla
The Butterfly's Daughter by Mary Alice Monroe

5.0

Rarely do I find a book that captures my attention and heart so intensely - I couldn’t put this one down - read it in 24 hours. An incredible coming of age tale filled with adventure, friendship, love, death, family dynamics - struggles, triumphs. It so vividly brought me back to my years living in Mexico and my favorite state of Michoacán and the times I spent in Patzcuaro during the Day of the Dead festivities. I learned so much more about monarch butterflies making me appreciate even more the one tattooed on me. I look forward to reading more books by Monroe.
