4.0 out of 5 stars Fabolous narrative, September 17, 2010
This review is from: El tiempo entre costuras (Spanish Edition) (Temas de Hoy. Th Novela) (Paperback)
A fabulous novel covering from the years previous to the Spanish Civil War to the end of the WWII, with scenes covering Madrid, Tanger and Tetuan, Madrid again and Lisbon to finally return to Madrid once again, with intrigue and history development with a formal bibliography of the non fictional aspects of the book which give a hard backbone to the fiction of the novel. In Spanish works just fine even her author has a PhD in English literature and applies many of the techniques used in English to this very Spanish novel. Easy reading and wonderful experience.

This review is from: El tiempo entre costuras (Spanish Edition) (Temas de Hoy. Th Novela) (Paperback)
Excellent novel, delightful and exciting reading.....also of historical value about the Spanish Civil war and the years of WWII. The influence of Germany and Britain in Morrocco, Spain and Portugal. I wish a translation in English could be available soon.

This review is from: El tiempo entre costuras (Spanish Edition) (Temas de Hoy. Th Novela) (Paperback)
Un par de malas decisiones dejan a Sira Quiroga sola en Tetuán sin dinero y tras meses de estrecheces abre un taller de alta costura que comienza a atraer a una clientela nada peculiar comenzando su doble función de modista y espía, condición por la que es enviada a Madrid donde abre el mismo negocio y continua cosiendo, diseñando, oyendo, informando y transmitiendo a los Servicios Secretos británicos toda la información que iba recopilando de sus clientas - esposas, amantes o familiares de altos funcionarios españoles y nazis - hasta el final de la Segunda Guerra Mundial siempre rodeada de gente peculiar, clientas ricas e importantes, políticos, militares españoles y extranjeros, amigos entrañables y un miedo a ser descubierta cualquier dia.
Una novela estupendamente escrita, bien narrada que mantiene el interes del lector desde el comienzo de la historia que nos transporta a la España de la Guerra Civil desde la distancia del Protectorado de Marruecos, el Madrid empobrecido de la postguerra y la situación económica, política y social que vivió el país en esa década tan convulsa para la historia española. Una trama para disfrutar de principio a fín.

This review is from: El tiempo entre costuras (Spanish Edition) (Temas de Hoy. Th Novela) (Paperback)
One of the best books I have read recently. I loved the art cover as much as the well told story. It was difficult to stop reading the compelling story. I recommend this book
highly.

This review is from: El tiempo entre costuras (Spanish Edition) (Temas de Hoy. Th Novela) (Paperback)
Great read. DId it in a weeek. For me, a record time. First of all, a great story. Good main character development-similar to slowly weaving a tapestry of the character's evolution, thus the title.

5.0 out of 5 stars fascinante, May 10, 2011
By 
This review is from: El tiempo entre costuras (Spanish Edition) (Temas de Hoy. Th Novela) (Paperback)
vivo en caracas y estoy encantada con esta fascinante novela, me entretiene y tal como me recomendó una encantadora señora -que se la bebía mientras hacíamos una cola de la taquilla de un cine- me ha atrapado sira y sus aventuras a través de la historia y distintos paisajes en la época de la guerra civil española, y los albores de la WWII. no quiero que se me termine. lástima que no la hay en kindle. mañana viajo y no me quiero llevar el libro físico y sira va llegando a lisboa. atención fanáticos de "el tiempo entre costuras": viene la película española producida por antena 3:)

This review is from: El tiempo entre costuras (Spanish Edition) (Temas de Hoy. Th Novela) (Paperback)
This book is amazing.. you dont want to stop reading. I learned that Spain did not go into the WWII part of ir because the germans. This book made me look for more info and study this period of time in history. It's really one of my favorites books! and i still think if Sira Quiroga, Rosalynda and all the other characters!

This review is from: El tiempo entre costuras (Spanish Edition) (Temas de Hoy. Th Novela) (Paperback)
I loved this book. A very interesting narrative. I am Brazilian and read the portuguese edition. I have fallen in love with the main character, Sira. And we end up becoming more familiar with the Spanish civil war. Very interesting book.
