Bestselling author Maria Dueñas wrote a sequel about spy Sira Quiroga: 'She had to suffer a little'

Her debut novel The sound of the night, in which simple seamstress Sira Quiroga became a spy for the British secret service, became a global bestseller a decade ago. Now Spanish writer María Dueñas (58) is out with a new novel in which she takes Sira to task. 'She had to suffer a little.'

Second part

Because of the somewhat open-ended nature of The sound of the night María Dueñas was often asked if she planned to write a second volume about the characterful Sira. Never did she have plans to do so, yet now there is Sira, a novel in which - the title says it all - once again stars the woman who stole the hearts of millions of readers a decade ago.

Several years ago, I absolutely loved The Time in Between by Spanish author María Dueñas. Her debut novel, it was engrossing and exciting, about a naive young woman, Sira Quiroga, becoming an undercover spy for the English during World War II. So I was excited to learn that, at long last, this stellar novel would be getting a sequel. Sira came out in Spanish last year and is now available in English. It picks up shortly after the previous book left off, following Sira in marriage, motherhood, and new political adventures. 

Special thanks to Amazon Crossing and NetGalley for providing me with an ARC of this book!
