I am a big fan of Truman Capote's swans - Babe Paley, Gloria Guinness, Jackie O, etc. Based on the cover photograph and the title of the book, I expected this book to be about the fabulous group of women from the 1950's. Sadly, there is very little in this book about the swans. The cover is the best photo of one of the 'swan's' than any other photo in the book.
The book is more about that time period - so there is many photos of places where the rich and famous of that time vacationed and partied, magazine articles,etc.- but very little about the swans. The husbands of the swans are featured more in this book than the women. I did not find the book interesting of informative.
If you are looking for something that will take you back to that time period and not so interested in the women of the time, then you might enjoy the book. But, if you want information about Capote's swans- you might do better with something else.
