Just before the outbreak of the Civil War, Sira, the daughter of a seamstress, flees with her boyfriend to Tetouan, hoping to start a new life. However, betrayal and abandonment lead her to open a sewing workshop for the wives of the military and diplomats stationed in North Africa. There she meets Rosalinda Fox, an Englishwoman who introduces her to a world of parties and glamour. Through Rosalinda and her contacts, Sira becomes involved in an environment of informants and spies, in a context marked by the imminent World War II and the possible alignment of Spain with Germany.
Spanish philologist and novelist, author of The Time in Between, one of the best-selling Spanish-language novels of the 21st century.
