The Clothes On Their Backs by Linda Grant
3.0
i picked this one up randomly on the library shelves. i love the way grant writes - she has a way with language. the first chapter had me captivated and i found her way of describing the transformative power of clothes interesting.
from there, you go back in time and the story itself is not so interesting to me. the main character's relationship as her uncle develops and the closeness and repulsion drew me in a bit, but her failure to communicate and relate with others, most notably her family, left me dissatisfied. i'd love to read something by linda grant where i'm actually interested in the plot.
