The Time In Between: A Novel Audiobook

" Good characters and interesting spin on a well covered historical time. I loved the whole sewing aspect that Sira is constantly alluding to and how that plays into her final occupation. Great concise descriptions of the scenes without being overdone. I enjoyed this. "

" This book was an easy read and I did enjoy it but felt it didn't live up to its potential. It was very predictable and, particularly the latter part, too simplistic. I wanted to be taken in by the story but just didn't find it very believable. The reader should have been credited with more intelligence. We don't need to have everything spelled out to us clumsily. It was usually obvious from her actions what Sira would have been feeling without having her repeatedly tell us. I wanted to like her but was a bit over her by the end of the book. "

" I liked reading about Spain and Morocco at the cusp of WWII; I hadn't read a book about that area before. The book was just too long--I couldn't wait to finish it and move to something else. "

" I liked the topic very much and loved the storey line for an interesting side to the war. "

" Highly enjoyed. But from midway thru it got a little preposterous and hard to believe (from rags to dangerous spy). I did enjoy it though and had a hard time deciding between 3 and 4 stars. "

" This book would improve enormously with more vivid dialogues, better conveying the psychology of the characters. Nevertheless, it's and enjoyable book with good atmosphere and well written settings. "

" Like The Pink Carnation books? Wish they were a bit better and less fluff? Want to move to a different war? This is the book. Really. Read it. "

" This book was very wordy. At 609 pages, I feel they could have trimmed it down a bit. "

" Sometimes the book moved a little too slowly, but I liked seeing WWII from a different perspective: that of expats who left those countries embroiled in war to take refuge in Morocco and the Spaniards who were caught between their British allies and the German invasion. "

" This book was a five in the first third and a five in the last third. The middle third was slow and would have been easy to put down. "

" Good story about the effect of the Spanish Civil War on ordinary citizens and the work of spies in Spain as the Second World War began. I liked the brave heroine. "

" I loved this book! I felt like it was different than anything I've read and it was written beautifully. I want it to be a movie for sure. "

" I thought it was a good storyline but I found it to be a very hard read. One really has to understand the geography of the land, the language, and cultural differences. It took me a while to finish it. I would recommend to those who enjoy stories of international characters. "

" LOVED this book. The only thing is that when you get about 1/3 of the way through, it helps to look up some of the places and people's names in Wikipedia, for those of us who don't know our Spanish history. But this was a truly fantastic book! "

" Hermosa novela! Me hizo ponerme en el lugar de alguien tan diferente a mi y admirar la fuerza de la mujer y como se puede salir adelante a pesar de las circunstancias. "

" It took me a while to get into it but then I was hooked & didn't want it to end. It stayed with me for some time afterward, the way good stories do. "

" Wonderful settings and historical background. Performance was super by Zilah Mendoza "

" Disappointing - not particularly well written. "
