Such Good Friends by Stephen Greco

 Such Good Friends reimagines the friendship between Truman Capote and Lee Radziwill, sister of Jackie Kennedy. It is related through Marlene, who becomes a housekeeper at Radziwill household.

As the story explores this relationship, it reveals the inner circles of the upper crust with their luxurious lives; filled with stars dazzling the parties, fashionable restaurants, and the so called “swans” ruling the high society of New York in the 1960s and 70s. As Marlene becomes a trusted member of the family, she observes the array of famous figures that come in and out of Lee’s private life.

The story is written with sophisticated prose and believable dialogue. It mostly relates the relationship between two friends and how it progressed; at the same time, presenting their privileged lives, what they did and where they did it. The plot is minor here.
