The inspiring New York Times bestseller of a seemingly ordinary woman who uses her talent and courage to transform herself first into a prestigious couturier and then into an undercover agent for the Allies during World War II.
Between Youth and Adulthood . . .
At age twelve, Sira Quiroga sweeps the atelier floors where her single mother works as a seamstress. By her early twenties she has learned the ropes of the business and is engaged to a modest government clerk. But then everything changes.
Between War and Peace . . .
With the Spanish Civil War brewing in Madrid, Sira impetuously follows her handsome new lover to Morocco, but soon finds herself abandoned, penniless, and heartbroken. She reinvents herself by turning to the one skill that can save her: creating beautiful clothes.
Between Love and Duty . . .
As World War II begins, Sira is persuaded to return to Madrid, where she is the preeminent couturiere for an eager clientele of Nazi officers’ wives. She becomes embroiled in a half-lit world of espionage and political conspiracy rife with love, intrigue, and betrayal. A massive bestseller across Europe, The Time In Between is one of those rare, richly textured novels that enthrall down to the last page. María Dueñas reminds us how it feels to be swept away by a masterful storyteller.
关于战争题材小说,雷马克的《西线无战事》会给人带来一种会当凌绝顶的感觉,某种在经历创伤之后来抚摸青春伤痕的极致。而《时间的针脚》在战争题材小说中显然是别具一格的,通过一位女裁缝的视角刻画了世事苍凉。只不过,雷马克写的是悲剧,杜埃尼亚斯写的是悲喜剧;雷马克用...
評分costura西语是缝纫的意思; El tiempo是“时间”(Nike最早系列的一款鞋子就叫Tiempo),翻译成"时间的针脚"和作者的本意一致(作者答记者问),既符合女主Sira的职业身份(裁缝)也暗示了她在历史背面作为一个隐形的人物所起的作用。 从首发式开始前拿到这本书起,我便进入阅...
評分西班牙是君主立宪制国家,这个位于欧洲西南部的美丽国度直至1978年才修订出现行宪法。究其原因,或许不得不归咎于1936年由国民军与长枪党人联手引发的西班牙内战,这场长达3年的血腥内战是自法兰西大革命之后在西欧上演的最大规模的内战,多个国家卷入其中,不仅导致西班...
評分《时间的针脚》,这本书是我放假前从学校图书馆借出来的,我也不知道当时为什么要借这本书,反正拿回来之后就没翻过,到了快到期的时候,学校图书馆系统的网络进不去,没有办法续借,所以只能开学再还,想着要为那几本书出超期费,就觉得不看的话实在是太划不来了,所以我就拿...
評分和历史结合得好。这一点确实是功夫活,也是本书最大的看点。作者是学者出身,因此对历史细节非常考究,但作为一本小说来说不太合格。文章可读性尚可,但是行文结构、叙述节奏等尚待推敲。期待读一本精心设计的“小说”的同志们可能会大失所望。 有人把这本和《飘》相提并论。...
