SERIES Readers LOVE Capote's Women: 'A genuinely fascinating account of a great writer
and his muses.' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'Loved it! Fabulous book about a extremely complicated and complex
character.' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ' You won't want to put this down. ' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'There are certain women '
Truman Capote wrote 'who though perhaps not born rich are born to be rich.' These women
captivated and enchanted Capote - he befriended them received their deepest confidences and
ingratiated himself into their lives. From Barbara 'Babe' Paley to Lee Radziwill (Jackie
Kennedy's sister) they were the toast of mid-century New York each beautiful and distinguished
in her own way. For years Capote had been trying to write what he believed would be his
magnum opus Answered Prayers. But when he eventually published a few chapters in Esquire the
barely fictionalised lives (and scandals) of his closest female confidantes were laid bare for
all to see. The blowback incinerated his relationships and banished Capote from their
high-society world forever. In Capote's Women New York Times bestselling author Laurence
Leamer investigates the true story of the renowned author and his famous friends weaving a
fascinating tale of friendship intrigue and betrayal. 'DREAM HOLIDAY READING. . .' SUNDAY
