The Time In Between by María Dueñas Book Summary

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.

An outstanding success around the world, The Time in Between has sold more than two million copies and inspired the Spanish television series based on the book, dubbed by the media as the “Spanish Downton Abbey.” In the US it was a critical and commercial hit, and a New York Times bestseller in paperback. It 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.

The time in between. Not a good read. Starts off ok. Turns to crap.

Worth it!. Long but intriguing journey!

Absolutely loved this book. And the TV mini-series that followed was made so well. Such a marvelous production, & perfectly cast.

The Time in Between. Amazing novel.

Bothersome chapter endings. Duenas is definitely an engaging storyteller, but I became bothered by her predictable chapter conclusions. I don't think this is a spoiler alert but to cover myself, I'll state it could be. As you proceed, you'll notice she has a pattern of setting up the chapter to follow with "stay tuned" kind of language (what I term it) - using statements like "And from then on, the situation changed radically, for everyone.". Like oh my!! That going to commercial terminology to keep you to the next part. Don't set me up. Surprise me in the chapter with what's happening as it is happening. Too much distance. I would have liked a more personal diary account instead of just everything feeling very third person. I hate chapter conclusions set up. I felt like I knew where it was going all along and a captive reader may lose interest in the writing style and start to notice the page count at this point. It could drag. Sira is cute, the relationship with Agent Logan nothing spectacular, and the conclusion rather Disney, if I had to be honest. Still, you can tell the author did her homework. I'm not a history buff nor do I take to war (too long spent with a war buff) but I liked the intricacies to an extent. Just so so overall. 3/5

Amazing Book. I’ve reread this book several times. So well written! And the story is absolutely enthralling. Each time I’m sorry to reach the end.

The Time in Between. Okay. I really saw this story as a romance novel couched in an historical setting. The 1st person narrative lacked depth. It was an enjoyable read in spite of its shortcomings.

Page turner. If you like historical fiction, this is a must read. I simply could not put it down. I am going to tell everyone I know to get this book!

El Tiempo entre costuras. Excelente

Oh editor . . . where are you?. Needed an editor to cut this novel in half and to put some action in the action scenes! During the flight scene from the train the author stops to describe how the heroine took off her heels because truly she would have broken an ankle in the fall from the moving train - - - you have two thugs behind you . . . . Jump, Jump, Jump!!!!!
