A sparkling debut vividly captures the high society women who punished Capote for his indiscreet reporting * The Guardian * This is a first novel of extraordinary skill, a book of which Capote would have been proud -- Alex Preston * The Observer * Gorgeous... That glittering world - all Dom Perignon, Sobranies, Quaalude and Chanel - is recreated with a lovely eye for detail -- Robbie Millen * The Times * A dazzlingly assured first novel... This clever book, with the moreish astringency of a negroni, is a perfect summer cocktail * The Sunday Times * If a writer is going to craft a novel from well-known events, they might as well do it with brio, which this has in spades...A skilled and sparking debut -- Suzi Feay * Guardian * A whirlwind of a first novel. There is great pathos in the Swans' woundings and in their inevitable decline. And the character of Truman himself shimmers through the novel in a wonderful blaze of eccentricity and excess. Outstanding. -- Rose Tremain A completely fascinating novel and a marvellously skillful re-imagining of real people, times and places. Outstanding. -- William Boyd Swan Song is magnificent. For all the swagger and swish and intrigue, it is consistently well supported with perfect, juicy sentences. Utter corker -- Fiona Melrose [A] seductive spellbinding debut... Greenberg-Jephcott beautifully captures the pain and poignancy alongside the privilege * S Magazine, Sunday Express * A moving account of Capote's own giddy, talent-fuelled ascent and the self-destructive plummet that follows * Mail on Sunday *
