ALGONQUIN BOOK CLUB

In The Time of the Butterflies

Algonquin Books selected Julia Alvarez's In the Time of the Butterflies as its first book club selection. Edwidge Danticat interviewed Julia about In the Time of the Butterflies on March 21st at Books & Books in Coral Gables. You can tune in to the webcast any time on the Algonquin Book Club website, where you'll also find a lot of extras, including: Julia's original essay about the book; a reader's guide; wine and recipe suggestions, including some from Julia and her husband, Bill Eichner, as well as two dishes that were favorites of the Mirabal sisters; book club tips and ideas; and more.

Each week, Algonquin has been giving away autographed copies of Julia's books, deluxe Book Club tote bags, select Advance Review Copies, brand new titles hot off the press, and other swag to people who join in the conversation on Twitter, Facebook, and the Algonquin blog.
