		The ophthalmologist said it's probably just a combination of dry eyes and strain from too much time in front of the computer, but his bedside manner was terrible as he tried to shoo me out of the office without answering my questions because he didn't want to miss his flight.
		Having a hospital two blocks from home is convenient at times like this and after about an hour of tests the doctor was able to rule out any major we-need-to-operate-on-you-today-or-you'll-go-blind problems and gave me the number of an ophthalmologist hoping they'd be able to see me today.

		Dominican American author Julia Alvarez's novel In the Time of the Butterflies (1994) is based upon the well-known Dominican story of the Mirabal sisters.
		When Alvarez discovered in the early 1990s that a fourth Mirabal sister, Dede, was alive in the Dominican Republic, she interviewed her, and In the Time of the Butterflies grew out of that experience.
		In the Time of the Butterflies can be seen to resist both a monolithic genetic category and a single, authoritative narrative voice in its "centrifugal" or fragmented tendency.

		In the Time of the Butterflies tells the real-life story of the Mirabal sisters, courageous revolutionaries known covertly as las Mariposas ("the Butterflies").
		All of the strength of the Mirabal sisters is devastated by their wimpy portrayals onscreen here; Minerva seems less like a visionary rebel who will lead a nation and more like a clueless teenager who happened to follow the footsteps of a crush.

		In the Time of the Butterflies is inspired by the true story of the three Mirabal sisters who, in 1960, were murdered for their part in an underground plot to overthrow the government.
		"Butterflies", the code name for three sisters and underground resistance conspirators in the Dominican Republic during the dictatorial Trujillo regime, bounds through time like a mediocre biopic taking pause at moments obviously designed to evoke emotion rather than infusing a sense of reality.
		Melodrama not for realists which attempts to connect the three sibs with Trujillo's assassination by association as opposed to fact.

		In the Time of the Butterflies is a deeply human realization of complex themes: the dynamic between the personal and the political, and individual struggle in the face of oppression.
		As a child in 1960, Alvarez and her family fled the Dominican Republic and settled in New York, to avoid the secret police's retaliation for her father's involvement in underground activities.
		In the postscript, the author asserts, "A novel is, after all, not a historical document, but a way to travel through the human heart." In the Time of the Butterflies is such a journey, demanding and courageous in the way of those sisters whose travel inspired its telling.

		The other two books that I've read besides Butterflies are called "How the Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents" and "Yo" (which is somewhat of a sequel to Garcia Girls if I remember right).
		It's the story of a woman (told from the present back---each chapter is further back in time) and her mother who is a famous poet (the mother's chapters are told in ordinary progression).
		By the time I finished the book I understood why she had worked it that way, and I literally opened to the beginning immediately after finishing to put details that hadn't made sense into context.
