La joven modista Sira Quiroga abandona Madrid en los meses previos al alzamiento y se instala en Tanger con un amante que apenas conoce. Al encontrarse abandonada, Sira se traslada a Tetuan, forja una nueva identidad y logra poner en marcha un selecto atelier en el que atiende a clientas de origenes remotos y presentes insospechados. Esa novela avanza con ritmo imparable por los mapas, la memoria y la nostalgia, transportandonos hasta los legendarios enclaves coloniales del norte de Africa, al Madrid proaleman de la inmediata posguerra y a una Lisboa cosmopolita repleta de espias, oportunistas y refugiados sin rumbo. Es una aventura en la que los talleres de alta costura, el glamur de los grandes hoteles, las conspiraciones politicas y las oscuras misiones de los servicios secretos se funden con la lealtad hacia aquellos a quienes queremos y con el poder irrefrenable del amor.
