Reviews

[Marie-Sophie · Rating 5 out of 5]

A non-fiction tale of some of the most fascinating stories and decades of modern history, through the stories of the Swans and the life of Truman Capote. A mix of old Hollywood, high society, war, changing times and the level of no expectations placed on women - when often it was them holding together the strings of history.

[Sean Sheehan · Rating 4 out of 5]

Fascinating depiction of the relationship between The writer Truman Capote and a group of rich society women.

[Annemieke Windt · Rating 3 out of 5]

It’s a gossipy book about a gossipy guy. The storytelling is a bit chaotic with timelines that just don’t seem to make sense.

[Cindy Yancy-Spurgeon]

I am fascinated with these people
