More About This Book

Overview

Contra el glamoroso trasfondo de Londres en la década de los setenta, La ropa que vestimos, finalista del premio Man Booker de ficción 2008, es una novela sobre la supervivencia, tanto la cotidiana como la heroica, y la historia de una mujer frente a las complicaciones y las traiciones que acompañan el deseo de vivir. Durante toda su infancia, Vivien Kovaks, una niña sensible, tímida y retraída, vive aislada tanto del pasado como del presente. Sus padres, emigrantes húngaros en una Inglaterra hostil, creen en que lo mejor es pasar inadvertidos hasta llegar a ser invisibles, y al mismo tiempo se niegan a hablarle a su hija del país que dejaron. Le ocultan, por ejemplo, su origen judío, y le ocultan también cuál es la verdadera historia de Sándor Kovaks, ese misterioso tío que se presenta una mañana con un traje impactante, un reloj de diamantes en la muñeca y una mujer extravagante del brazo.
