From the New York Times bestselling author of The Aviator's Wife comes an enthralling new novel about Truman Capote's scandalous, headline-making, and heart-wrenching friendship with Babe Paley and New York's society "swans" of the 1950s.
Centered on two dynamic, complicated, and compelling protagonists--Truman Capote and Babe Paley--this book is steeped in the glamour and perfumed and smoky atmosphere of New York's high society. Babe Paley--known for her high-profile marriage to CBS founder William Paley and her ranking in the International Best-Dressed Hall of Fame--was one of the reigning monarchs of New York's high society in the 1950s. Replete with gossip, scandal, betrayal, and a vibrant cast of real-life supporting characters, readers will be seduced by this startling new look at the infamous society swans.
