Truman Capote's Breakfast at Tiffany'sis a brilliant glimmer of the excitement of 40's New York. Holly Golightly - brashly beautiful with a slim black dress, a mysterious past and dark glasses over varicoloured eyes - entrances all the men she meets, including the young writer living above her, though her recklessness may yet catch up with her. Also containing three short stories, this edition shows the elegance and warmth of Capote's writing at its most flawless.

I haven't seen the movie in its entirety but I found the story insightful and intriguing. The relationship between the narrator and Holly is deep and realistic. Holly is free spirited, complex and naive. The character never faltered in the story. Capote's writing seems effortless and is not to be ignored. “House of Flowers,” “A Diamond Guitar,” and “ A Christmas Memory” should not be overlooked.
Key to liking Breakfast at Tiffany's (the book): don't think of the movie.
