    About this ebook

    The Swans of Fifth Avenue by Melanie Benjamin | Conversation Starters

    A Brief Look Inside:
    The Swans of Fifth Avenue, the latest historical fiction book written by Melanie Benjamin, reveals the glamorous lives of “the swans” who lived in the affluent Fifth Avenue neighborhood in New York City during the 1950s. Babe Paley, one of the most well-known swans of the era, struck up a friendship with famous author Truman Capote. Their bond grew stronger, and the two were often seen together in public, which surely made magazine headlines. Babe called Truman “True Heart,” while he thought of her as perfect. Truman Capote was welcomed in Babe Paley's circle with open arms, until he shockingly betrayed the women, an event that Babe Paley never saw coming.
    The Swans of Fifth Avenue was a New York Times and USA Today bestseller, Book of the Week for People Magazine, and on the Must List for Entertainment Weekly. The storytelling has been considered “exceptional” by Harper's Bazaar.
