The beginning and end are a little muddled. You imagine the author would have changed this if they'd had the chance. Apart from this it's a very enjoyable love story about a young couple from very different social circumstances trying to make things work.

After loathing Breakfast at Tiffany’s, I was pleasantly surprised by this. The prose was beautiful (if sometimes over-written) and the story was engaging. Capote’s obvious love of his characters shines through. He was only 19 when he wrote this and there is a definite unpolished, youthful quality to the storytelling, but I found this charming rather than off-putting. A very quick read, it was only the unsatisfying and unclear ending that failed for me.

Some unpublished works should stay unpublished. I liked it, but its definitely a first draft that wasn't polished.
