Early Praise for SUCH GOOD FRIENDS Fascinating and effervescent... Using a brilliant narrative overlay, author Stephen Greco brings the charismatic author of Breakfast at Tiffany's and In Cold Blood to life with the type of biting wit, trenchant social commentary, and keen grasp of human nature for which he was celebrated. Insightful, intriguing and endlessly entertaining, Such Good Friends captures a platonic yet deeply passionate friendship that had all the faultlines of a doomed romance, and the seismic influence of Capote and Radziwill on their respective worlds, and each other. -Natalie Jenner, author of the international bestseller The Jane Austen Society and Bloomsbury Girls A deeply immersive and endlessly fascinating novel grounded in a true story I only thought I knew. Greco constantly surprised me with fresh perspectives and new insights as the story unfolded, seamlessly weaving together fact and fiction...A deeply personal portrait of a friendship between two unique people whose lives encompassed world travel, high society, popular culture, and human frailty. -Kim Van Alkemade, New York Times bestselling author of Orphan # 8 THIS HAS EVERYTHING - a virtual who's who filled with gossip, opulent gatherings, haute couture fashion, glamour, and of course tragedy! It's the smallest details that give the richest reward in this sumptuous novel. Just try to stop yourself from seeking out vintage footage of these two - you'll delightfully Google your way thru nostalgic photos. In a word this book is simply fabulous! -Julie Slavinsky, Warwick's (La Jolla, CA) A beguiling retelling of Truman Capote's friendship with charismatic Princess Radziwell as told by her housekeeper who has her own dark secrets. The pages just ooze with glamour and glitz. -Fran Ziegler, Titcomb's Bookshop (East Sandwich, MA) Elegant, satisfying . . . compelled me down a sumptuous, electrifying rabbit hole of 1950s-1970s New York City. Greco skillfully depicts the blurred line between fiction and nonfiction on so many levels. A pleasure of a novel! -Robin Stern, Books Inc., (San Francisco, CA) Captures the nuances of those whose larger-than-life experiences have fascinated the public for generations. Readers will question what makes their own lives so different from those of Capote, Radziwill, and their contemporaries; and also consider what all people hold in common-the insecurities, eccentricities, and vulnerabilities which belie the very human frailties and desires shared by us all. -Donna Rasmussen, Randolph Public Library (Randolph, NJ)
