I've got mixed feelings about this one, but all in all I liked it.

Kind of seemed like it was "lost" for a reason.

I bought this book by chance at a pop-up Strand book store on Fifth Ave on July 4 and then started reading this Manhattan set novel in Central Park later that day...such a romantic backstory for a summertime read while travelling in NYC, huh?!

Not Capote's best, but evidently he didn't deem it worth publishing and others decided posthumously on his estate's behalf that it was worth printing. Whether you feel it should have been published or not, it's still an enjoyable work with that elegant style and nuanced understanding of human character that would later become trademarks.

beautifully written novella that tells a story about a young girl living her youth. he carved the characters out so well and created a main character who is relatable because of how raw and naive she is.

The writing is highly descriptive and poetic. you can imagine exactly where and how things are.

A short but good read.
