Okay, so this has nothing to do with the current Connor Lady Book Selection, because I don't have a copy of it. However, this is a book suggestion.
In the Time of the Butterflies by Julia Alvarez.
I got it from Momma for Christmas and am just a little over 1/2 way through, but think it would be a right fine book club topic. It kind of reminds me of the Poisonwood Bible in a way, as it's told from the perspective of these 4 girls and details their extraordinary circumstances growing up. All the girls have very distinct personalities, all tell their version of the events (growing up the the 50's in South America and the Dominican Revolution) in their own singular way. It's pretty good.
So just store that title way.

It's Mollie. How come I'm not allowed to blog? Or whatever you call it? Is this for Readers only?!?!? Do you have to read the book or can we talk about other things?
