behind the scenes

As others have said, this is kind of a behind-the-scenes peek at the high profile men and women of the era and they sacrificed for their chosen life. Benjamin always does her research....makes me want to learn more about Capote and the swans.

Great book!

I have read a few of Melanie Benjamin books. I enjoy her stories and way of writing. This book gives you a glimpse into high society New York.
