lynbee 's review for:
Before We Were Free
by Julia Alvarez
I appreciated the realness of this book. Too often endings wrap up in too neat and perfect of a way. Which is great at times but also a bit unrealistic. As sad as parts of the end were, I felt that they mirrored real life. I enjoyed getting to know the history of the DR, even if it was mixed in with some fiction. I also read this book in Spanish which added a distinct flavor to the experience. A great book overall.
