Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In a red brick mansion block off the Marylebone Road, Vivien, a sensitive, bookish girl grows up sealed off from both past and present by her timid refugee parents. Then one morning a glamorous uncle appears, dressed in a mohair suit, with a diamond watch on his wrist and a girl in a leopard-skin hat on his arm. Why is Uncle Sandor so violently unwelcome in her parents' home?This is a novel about survival - both banal and heroic - and a young woman who discovers the complications, even betrayals, that inevitably accompany the fierce desire to live. Set against the backdrop of a London from the 1950s to the present day, The Clothes on Their Backs is a wise and tender novel about the clothes we choose to wear, the personalities we dress ourselves in, and about how they define us all. The brilliant new novel by Orange Prize winner, Linda Grant, about the legacies of history, longlisted for the Orange Prize, 2008 and shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize, 2008 Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
