<b><i>Breakfast at Tiffany's</i> is a valentine of love, fashioned by way of reminiscences to one Holly Golightly...Capote makes unique reading</b> - <i>The New York Times Book Review</i> It's New York in the 1940s, where the martinis flow through 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 apparently <i>top banana in the shock department,</i> and one of the shining stars of American fiction. This edition also contains three stories: <b>House of Flowers, A Diamond Guitar</b> and <b>A Christmas Memory</b>. <b>One of America's best writers - at his best</b> - <i>Sunday Times</i> <b>Capote's handling of scene, dialogue, illumination of character, near-caricature which rises to revelation, his eye for comedy, both social and joyously anti-social...make this short novel his own; and a fine one, outstanding in any season</b> - <i>Sunday Review</i> Cover photograph: Hulton Deutsch
