  • "Thought to be lost for over fifty years, this is Truman Capote's first novel, begun at the age of nineteen. Beautiful, rich, defiant, Grady is the sort of girl people stare at across a room, a girl to whom people sense something is going to happen. But the privileged society life leaves her wanting more. Excitement comes in the form of the highly unsuitable Clyde, a Jewish parking attendant. And when her parents leave her alone in New York one summer, their secret affair intensifies. Soon Grady will be forced to make decisions - choices that will forever affect her future. Summer Crossing's wit, atmosphere and moving denouement show all the qualities that made Capote one of America's greatest writers."@en
