Holly Golightly knows that nothing bad can ever happen to you at Tiffany's; her poignancy, wit, and naïveté continue to charm.<br><br>This volume also includes three of Capote's best-known stories, “House of Flowers,” “A Diamond Guitar,” and “A Christmas Memory,” which the <i>Saturday Review</i> called “One of the most moving stories in our language.” It is a tale of two innocents—a small boy and the old woman who is his best friend—whose sweetness contains a hard, sharp kernel of truth. 2518209 book 1958 Breakfast at Tiffany's total:11344|5:3064|4:4543|3:3106|2:554|1:77| 11344 43995 15837 1054 5 21 false false Mon Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2007 Tue May 29 07:16:41 -0700 2007 Tue May 29 07:16:56 -0700 2007
