Holly Golightly, glittering socialite traveller, generally upwards, sometimes sideways and once in a while down.

She's up all night drinking cocktails and breaking hearts.

She's a shoplifter, a delight, a drifter, a tease.

She hasn't got a past.

She doesn't want to belong to anything or anyone.

Not to 'Rusty' Trawler, the blue-chinned, cuff-shooting millionaire man about women about town.

Not to Salvatore 'Sally' Tomato, the Mafia sugar-daddy doing life in Sing Sing.

Not to a starving writer.

Not even to her one-eyed rag-bag pirate of a cat.

One day Holly might find somewhere she belongs.

Until then she's travelling.

Reviews for Breakfast at Tiffany's

Far darker and more disturbing than the fizzy Hepburn screen version, this examination of an irresistible and amoral young woman on the make in Manhattan is a masterpiece of characterization and dialogue. Capote packs in humour, pathos and wicked observation. (Kirkus UK)
