Random House presents the audiobook edition of Swan Song by Kelleigh Greenberg-Jephcott, read by Deborah Weston.
NOMINATED FOR THE 2019 WOMEN''S PRIZE FOR FICTION
''A dazzlingly assured first novel... This clever book, with the moreish astringency of a negroni, is a perfect summer cocktail.'' SUNDAY TIMES
''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

To the outside world, they were the icons of high society — the most glamorous and influential women of their age. To Truman Capote they were his Swans: the ideal heroines, as vulnerable as they were powerful. They trusted him with their most guarded, martini-soaked secrets, each believing she was more special and loved than the next…
Until he betrayed them.
‘Writers write. And one can’t be surprised if they write what they know.’
