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.

Review of 'Borrowed Finery' on 'Goodreads'

1 star

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.
