The inspiring international 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. At fourteen, she quietly begins her own apprenticeship. By her early twenties she has learned the ropes of the business and is engaged to a modest government clerk. But everything changes when two charismatic men burst unexpectedly into her neatly mapped-out life: an attractive salesman and the father she never knew.

Between War and Peace . . .

With the Spanish Civil War brewing in Madrid, Sira leaves her mother and her fiancé, impetuously following her handsome lover to Morocco. However, she soon finds herself abandoned, penniless, and heartbroken in an exotic land. Among the odd collection of European expatriates trapped there by the worsening political situation back on the Continent, Sira reinvents herself by turning to the one skill that can save her: her gift for creating beautiful clothes.

Between Love and Duty . . .

As England, Germany, and the other great powers launch into the dire conflict of World War II, Sira is persuaded to return to Madrid, where she takes on a new identity to embark upon the most dangerous undertaking of her career. As the preeminent couturier for an eager clientele of Nazi officers’ wives, Sira becomes embroiled in the half-lit world of espionage and political conspiracy rife with love, intrigue, and betrayal.

Already a runaway 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.

读后感

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...

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...  

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...  

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...
