這是一本優雅動人，非凡獨特的回憶錄，記錄了青年作家Borrowed Finery在二戰肆掠之際走訪歐洲的歷程。（XMM）
Awards/获奖情况："Summons a lost era without indulging in nostalgia . . . What lingers is the taste of being twenty-three-years-old and at large in a broken but dazzling world."---The Village Voice
"There is an unnerving current of tension in Fox’s writing . . . an eerie power to her prose."---The Star-Ledger (Newark)
"Elegant . . . Her simultaneously spare and lyrical sentences usher in a world that is tenuous, foreboding, tender, comic--life itself, in other words, as described by a trustworthy, soulful, unegocentric observer."---Bookforum
"In her acclaimed memoir Borrowed Finery (2001), Fox wrote with quiet power about her traumatic childhood. Now she writes about huge political upheaval, and once again she brings it close with small, intimate details. . . . You read the simple words slowly, and they haunt you."---Booklist
"The picture Fox paints of postwar Europe is both profoundly beautiful and sad, and her memoir is affecting, leaving one wishing she had stayed there longer."---Publishers Weekly
"Resonant . . . With her signature concision and understatement, Fox, now in her eighties, reassesses her past and extracts indelible insights. . . . Fox’s minimalist prose evokes for the reader something other than ourselves--and the effect is deeply moving."---Newsday
"A travel diary written in hindsight, this slender, elegant memoir is both hypnotic and sharply lucid. . . . Fox’s vision encompasses history and humanity, thereby taking in so much more than the self."---Bust magazine
About the Author/作者介绍： 保拉.福克斯於1923年4月22號出生於美國紐約市。她的父母均是作家。1948年，保拉嫁給了Richard Sigerson，並育有三個孩子。兩人結婚6年後以離婚而告終。1962年，作者再嫁。
福克斯少兒時代就熱愛上閱讀。由於父親身為作家需要四處奔波，保拉在眾多地方定居過，例如紐約，家裡福利亞以及古巴。經管作者學業生涯屢經多次轉校，她依然能夠說一口流利的西班牙語，並且讀了大量作品。在1955-1988年間，作者回到紐約，並進入哥倫比亞大學學習。可是，由於經濟問題，作者無法取得學位。在從事多種職業以後，保拉終於可以在一家寫作講習班擔任老師，並成為賓夕法利亞大學費城分校的文學教授
