Breakfast Tiffany s — Truman Capote

What Ive found does the most good is just to get into a taxi and go to Tiffanys It calms me down right away the quietness and the proud look of it nothing very bad could happen to you there not with those kind men in their nice suits Meet Holly Golightly a free spirited lop sided romantic girl about town With her tousled blond hair and upturned nose dark glasses and chic black dresses Holly is a style sensation wherever she goes Her apartment rocks to Martini soaked parties and she plays hostess to millionaires and gangsters alike Yet Holly never loses sight of her ultimate dream to find a real life place like Tiffanys that makes her feel at home Full of sharp wit and exuberant larger than life characters which vividly capture the restless madcap era of 1940s New York Breakfast at Tiffanys will make you fall in love perhaps for the first time with a book A master writer makes the heart sing and the narrative fly The New York Times

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
