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...
评分 评分书的首发式上,止庵先生对本书的一个评价让人印象深刻,“这本书最有意思的一点是,一个大学教授写了一个传奇。” 学者如果身兼作家身份,给人的感觉就是要写人文小说,传奇也就是通俗小说一般是不屑为之的。《时间的针脚》是一个例外,它是一本情节性极强、很好读的小说,但在...
评分刚开始那部分让我对女主角天真无知好骗还上赶着跳火坑的行径无语了,天下狗血那么多,怎么偏往你身上泼,那一定是因为女主的性格缺陷太过明显。 读过了女主前半段生涯中有如把言情模式带入生活的失败案例后,终于可以迎来一段苦逼而平缓的叙述,故事从这里变得引人入胜起来,这...

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.

评分The last part in Lisbon really ties everything together. I love the slow rhythm in Morocco, that part is my favorite. It is filled with future and possibilities, love and friends.
评分这书也可以叫一个女人的史诗
评分估摸着应该看不懂原版,所以选择了英文译版。600多页的书几乎是看得不想停下来,a real page-turner。讲述了一个西班牙裁缝小姑娘怎么样因缘际会在二战期间成为了同盟国的卧底。西班牙内战时期的马德里、摩洛哥殖民地,二战前夕的里斯本,甚至是30年代前后欧洲的流行时尚都被作者描写得活灵活现。小说虽然是虚构的,但是这个作者是那种特别严谨尊重史实的类型,在虚构的主人公身边出现的好几个人,像是主人公的好朋友同时是弗朗哥政府第一任外交部长的情人,还有好些政治人物都是真实存在的,大环境下的历史事件也都是真实的。 看完之后我只想买票杀回西班牙再一路南下到摩洛哥的Tetouan和Tangier看看。
