Breakfast at Tiffany's

SUMMARY: This Penguin Classic Is The Result Of A Creative Collaboration Between Bill Amberg And The World'S Favourite Publisher. It Is One In A Series Of Six Luxury Leather-Bound Titles.It'S New York In The 1940S, Where The Martinis Flow From Cocktail-Hour To Breakfast At Tiffany'S. And Nice Girls Don'T, Except, Of Course, Holly Golightly. Pursued By Mafia Gangsters And Playboy Millionaires, Holly Is A Fragile Eyeful Of Tawny Hair And Turned-Up Nose, A Heart-Breaker, A Perplexer, A Traveller, A Tease. She Is Irrepressibly 'Top Banana In The Shock Department', And One Of The Shining Flowers Of American Fiction. Published with three short stories this novella cemented Capote’s position at the forefront of American literature. It is the story of a friendship between New York neighbours, good time girl Holly Golightly and the unnamed male narrator. Immortalised in the film, Truman Capote's classic 'Breakfast at Tiffany's' is full of sharp wit. Its exuberant cast of characters vividly captures the restless, slightly madcap era of early 1940s New York. I am always drawn back to places where I have lived, the houses and their neighborhoods.
