Holly Golightly, glittering socialite traveller, generally upwards, sometimes sideways and once in a while down. She's up all night drinking cocktails and breaking hearts. She's a shoplifter, a delight, a drifter, and a tease. She hasn't got a past. She doesn't want to belong to anything or anyone. Not to 'Rusty' Trawler, the blue-chinned, cuff-shooting millionaire man about women about town. Not to Salvatore 'Sally' Tomato, the Mafia sugar-daddy doing life in Sing Sing. Not to a starving writer. Not even to her one-eyed rag-bag pirate of a cat. One day Holly might find somewhere she belongs. Until then she's travelling.

Można by w sumie powiedzieć, że bardziej zachwycono się pierwszoplanową autorką, Audrey Hepburn, niż samym filmem. Sięgnęłam po tę książkę z chęcią przeczytania osławionej historii, teraz zacieka...
Breakfast at Tiffany's Truman Capote Paperback, 178 pages Published October 1993 by Vintage International (first published 1958) ISBN 0679745653 Every time I read a Truman Capote story, I am happily surprised. I too often think of Capote as the character in all interviews and media stories about...
Ho sempre associato questo romanzo all'immagine bon ton di Audrey Hepburn, interprete principale nell'omonimo film, come credo un po' tutti noi. In realtà, la protagonista del libro, Holly, è un personaggio piuttosto articolato e tormentato, con dolori e sofferenze nascoste che cerca di controllare ...
