Description

Spain, 1936, and the brink of civil war. Aged twelve, Sira Quiroga is apprenticed to a Madrid dressmaker. As she masters the seamstress's art, her life seems clearly mapped out—until she falls passionately in love and flees with her seductive lover. But in Morocco she is betrayed and left penniless. As civil war engulfs Spain, Sira finds she cannot return and turns to her one true skill, sewing beautiful clothes for the expat elite and their German friends. With Europe rumbling toward war, Sira is lured back to Franco's Nazis-friendly Spain. She is drawn into the shadowy world of espionage, rife with love, intrigue and betrayal. And where the greatest danger lies...
