What follows is a gripping tale of two sisters who will . do anything to find their missing halves, even if it means destroying everything they've ever known.

Publicado en 1929, este ensayo revolucionario es un manifiesto literario y feminista que combina crítica, ironía y una prosa envolvente. Virginia Woolf traza la historia silenciada de las mujeres en la literatura y señala con precisión las estructuras que han limitado su libertad intelectual. Con su inconfundible estilo, nos invita a cuestionar los relatos dominantes y a imaginar un futuro en el que las escritoras puedan desarrollar su talento sin restricciones.

Cuatro destinos. Dos misiones. Una mujer. Vuelve a sumergirte en un tiempo inolvidable junto a la protagonista de El tiempo entre costuras. La segunda gran guerra llega a su fin y el mundo emprende una tortuosa reconstrucción. A pesar de que Sira afronta el futuro con ansias de serenidad. No lo logrará, sin embargo. El destino le tendrá preparada una trágica desventura que la obligará a reinventarse, tomar sola las riendas de su vida y luchar con garra para encauzar el porvenir. Entre hechos históricos que marcarán una época, Jerusalén, Londres, Madrid y Tánger serán los escenarios por los que transite. En ellos afrontará desgarros y reencuentros, cometidos arriesgados y la experiencia de la maternidad. Sira Bonnard —antes Arish Agoriuq, antes Sira Quiroga— ya no es la inocente costurera que nos deslumbró entre patrones y mensajes clandestinos, pero su atractivo permanece intacto.
