When Bernadette Crichton finds her husband dead, under the beautiful grandiflora tree, she assumes a widowhood that is unconventional and strange. Exiled inside her large house, Bernadette refuses to 'see or be seen' by platitude-bearing visitors.

But it is the discovery of Charlie's diary that forces her to address the unpleasant truth: Charlie and their marriage were not what they seemed.

Author: Truman Capote
Published by: Penguin Books Ltd

Truman Capote's Breakfast at Tiffany's is 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.
