«Historia de un abrigo» is the novel by Soledad Puértolas, published by Editorial Anagrama in hardcover (240 pages, in Spanish).
The novel begins when a woman searches the closets of her sisters and her widowed father for the coat that belonged to her mother; from that search other stories emerge: that of a photographer who abandoned his craft, adolescent dreams, loss of memory, loneliness, illness, and the decisions that shape a life. The characters try to define themselves in a world whose values do not fulfill their desires, and the coat becomes a symbol of a small story, made of many lives, that almost never appears in books.
It is part of the Narrativas hispánicas collection (number 377) from Anagrama. A contemporary fiction novel originally written in Spanish.
