Review:
`"Borrowed Finery" is like being let into a living diary, full of glittering scenes that, as you turn to them, suddenly begin to move. It 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.' Sunday Times`I highly recommend this tart, poignant tale.' Sarah Dunant, Books of the Year, Independent on Sunday`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
