Boeiende historische roman waarin de Spaanse Sira, een getalenteerd naaister/couturière die in Marokko na een rampzalige start een succesvol atelier heeft opgebouwd, najaar 1940 door de Britse SOE (Special Operations Executive) wordt geworven als spionne: in een nieuw te openen atelier in Madrid moet ze via haar gegoede Duitse clientèle - veelal echtgenote, vriendin of maîtresse van hooggeplaatste Duitse officieren - proberen te achterhalen welke sociale ontmoetingen plaatsvinden, wie aanwezig zullen zijn en wat besproken wordt.
Me ha gustado muchísimo. Creo que es la primera vez que leo a María Dueñas y no me esperaba encontrarme lo que me he encontrado en este libro: como lo que parecía la inocente historia de una costurera con muy mala suerte, al final se acaba convirtiendo en una bomba. Estaba totalmente enganchada, me he ventilado el audiolibro en un par de días. Voy a por el segundo ya de ya.

I read this book because I absolutely love the tv show and I have watched it several times.
I liked the book, but found some parts quite boring. I guess I didn't know it was going to go so deep into political history.
Sometimes if felt like a chore to get through those pages.
Don't let that discourage you from reading it, especially if you like history. It's a good book, but I guess I thought it was just going to be more about her.
Overall I'm happy I read it, but I like the tv show more.

Interesante pero demasiado melodramatico y patinado
