Paula Fox: Elegancia Prestada / Borrowed Finery (Literatura Y Memoria / Literature and Memory) (Paperback, Spanish language, 2006, Turner)
Paperback, 280 pages
Spanish language
Published July 6, 2006 by Turner.
In this moving and unusual memoir - this portrait of a life adrift - there are many things Paula can't remember, many things she can't explain, but the gaps are telling, signifying a child's quiet acceptance of the way things are.
Disjointed and purposeless -- if you want a memoir about a chaotic childhood with mentally ill parents, The Glass House by Jeanette Walls is a FAR superior book.
