My review: ????
Swan Song by Kelleigh Greenberg-Jephcott is about Truman Capote, and the glamorous high society women he called his Swans, and his betrayal of them.
Truman Capote loved gossip, and his Swans all told him secrets – theirs, and their friends, all of which they believed he would keep. But, he used these women’s lives as grist for the writing mill, changing names but little else, and told some of their deepest darkest secrets in an extract for a book he was writing call Answered Prayers.
I’ve not read anything by Truman Capote (don’t worry he’s on the list now!), and it’s funny that I’ve read a book about Harper Lee (Furious Hours, which I reviewed in May), and now about Capote as I never knew they were childhood friends, even if they did drift apart later in life.
Swan Song was published on 9th July 2019, and is available to buy on Amazon and on Waterstones. I’ve found a link to where you can search for local bookshops, including independent!
