==Plot summary==
A quiet, sensitive girl who loves to read grows up in a very quiet environment. Vivien Kovacs is raised by Hungarian parents who have been quite silenced by the war and thus she seems to be removed from both the past and present. So she uses her books to reinvent herself through her favorite characters. That is, until Uncle Sandor appears on the scene.
This uncle comes clad in a diamond watch, mohair suit and accompanied by a girl wearing a leopard-skin hat. He wants to share his life story with Vivien, telling her all about her family’s past. Vivien’s parents do not take well to this intruder. But Vivien wants to know why.
That is just the plot. Throughout the pages the readers learn about heroism, survival and betrayals and how our clothes define our personalities.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/clothes-on-their-backs-linda-grant/1100364347?ean=9781439142363#product-commentaries-1 )〕
