The clothes on their backs
A sensitive, bookish girl is shocked to meet her Uncle Sandy - a very dapper man - who is violently unwelcome in the home of her timid, refugee parents. Volunteering to write his life story, she learns about the concealed past and choices faced for survival; and Vivien comes to understand how the clothes we wear define us.
