“If gossip was art to Truman, it was copy to Clay – the stuff of the Big Story” Kelleigh Greenberg-Jephcott reimagines the literary crime of the century: the tragic story of Truman Capote and the beautiful, wealthy, vulnerable women he called his Swans, centres on the 1975 publication in Esquire of excerpts from his last, doomed, unfinished novel, Answered Prayers, revealing the multiple infidelities and crushing cynicism of those who dined and holidayed with the Vanderbilts and Kennedys.

‘A dazzlingly assured first novel… the moreish astringency of a negroni’ Sunday Times

‘Outstanding’ William Boyd.
