The Time in Between

 

I always thought my first post for the blog would be a fashion one, but instead I'm going  to share a fabulous book I read over the holidays. It has a fashion aspect to it, so I guess it counts. Here goes!

There are books you struggle to complete, and there are those you can't put down until you've read them cover to cover. The Time in Between by Maria Duenas is the latter. It's full of intrigue and romance, mixed in with high-stakes spy action and devastating war time. The Time in Between constantly keeps you on your toes as it narrates the story of Sira Quiroga, a young dressmaker who impulsively runs from Madrid to Morocco with her lover. But she soon finds herself alone and without a cent to her name. To survive, Sira rediscovers her passion for dress-making and transforms herself into Morocco's premiere couturier. From there, the action just keeps getting better as Sira becomes involved in WW2 in a way she never thought possible.

Sound awesome? It is. Pick it up now. No seriously, what are you waiting for? You can thank me later ;)
