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.

評分美貌自然是老天给予一个女人的最大的资本,西班牙女郎似乎得到了上帝更多的眷顾,因为她们不仅仅得到了世人难以企及的外貌,并且得到了上帝更多的奖赏,上帝给了她们由外而内的一种美。她们所拥有的,不仅仅是令人们羡慕嫉妒恨,有过一次便在所不惜的绝佳外貌,还有别样的根深...
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...
評分拜几本很潦草的新书所赐,我对畅销书的好感一度很缺失。因为看到是西班牙作者,加上有诺奖得住推荐,很利索地买下了,在收到书的当天晚上,一口气读完的。 对西班牙文学的了解仅限于《堂吉诃德》,不记得是否看完全本,但也只能说是不及格的零水平。而对西班牙的历史就更知之甚...
