El tiempo entre costuras
Book
La joven modista Sira Quiroga abandona Madrid en los meses previos al alzamiento y se instala en Tánger con un amante que apenas conoce. Al encontrarse abandonada, Sira se traslada a Tetuán, forja una nueva identidad y logra poner en marcha un selecto atelier en el que atiende a clientas de orígenes remotos y presentes insospechados. Esa novela avanza con ritmo imparable por los mapas, la memoria y la nostalgia, transportándonos hasta los legendarios enclaves coloniales del norte de ©frica, al Madrid proalemán de la inmediata posguerra y a una Lisboa cosmopolita repleta de espías, oportunistas y refugiados sin rumbo. Es una aventura en la que los talleres de alta costura, el glamur de los grandes hoteles, las conspiraciones políticas y las oscuras misiones de los servicios secretos se funden con la lealtad hacia aquellos a quienes queremos y con el poder irrefrenable del amor.
