Carte pentru toti Vol 189 CÂNTECUL LEBEDELOR

Truman Capote risks bonds with six rich women. Their ties go back twenty years. In autumn 1975, his writing shakes their elite circle. He worked to gain a place in this group. He calls these women his swans. They have told him their fears and secrets. Their looks and wealth do not keep them from hurt.

They share lunches in Manhattan and yacht trips on the Mediterranean. They fly to Jamaica. On quiet Yucatán beaches, they talk about sex and power. They talk about money, love and fame, too. The novel asks why Capote risks these bonds. Does he seek revenge? Or does he trust that their love cannot end?

This is Kelleigh Greenberg-Jephcott’s first novel. She writes fiction about real people and their social world. She asks when gossip turns to slander, or false claims that harm someone's name. She looks at how people shape who they are. She also shows how they guard themselves from harm.

The story gives shifting accounts of Capote’s childhood and youth. These show how he changed and added to his past. Scenes span his black-and-white party and the nightclub Studio 54.

This edition forms part of the Carte pentru toti series. Its original title is Swan Song.
