Borrowed Finery by Paula Fox
An astonishing, devastating memoir of a 1930s American childhood. A New York Times Best Book of 2001‘Borrowed Finery is like being let into a living diary, full of glittering scenes that, as you turn to them, suddenly begin to moveIt is a more humane, even-handed and entertaining book than many of the people involved had any right to expect.’ The Times
‘It is with amazement, approaching incredulity, that I read Paula Fox’s account of being abandoned by her parents. Gripping and shocking.’ The Sunday Times
‘In less poised hands, this story could turn to self-pitying melodrama. Fox’s telling, however, is as sharp and clean as a whiplash, piquing the reader’s curiosity.’ Herald
