review 1: A Tad Long But Overall A Pleasant Read.This novel begins in Spain just before World War II. It was a commendable book although a tad long where some chapters could have been condensed to keep the reader from becoming bored. The main character Sira, was a dressmaker for several rich women who were married to high ranking German officials. While Sira created outfits for these women, she would listen to their gossip and soon found herself taking a much different direction in life than she could ever have imagined. In general it is a pleasant read overall.
review 2: "The inspiring international bestseller of a seemingly ordinary woman who uses her talent and courage to transform herself first into a prestigious couturier and then into an undercover agent for the
... more Allies during World War II." (from Amazon's book page). It was written by a Spanish author,and was finally translated into English several years ago. I also learned a lot about the Spanish Civil War. I came across this book at a bookstore at the airport in Seattle prior to leaving on a trip. I LOVED IT! less
