Alvarez weaves the lives and choices of the Mirabel sister as they grapple with life under an authoritarian regime. The fiction version of their story allows the reader to be one with the unique perspective of the sisters. They’re love for each and their country never waivers, making for a tale that is both humbling and inspiring.
