I am probably a little late here, but could anyone please explain what "banana-boned" means:
Languid, banana-boned, she had dour black hair and an apathetic, at moments saintly face-in an enamel locket worn around her lily-stalk neck she preserved a miniature of her missionary father.
(it's about Riley's sister Elizabeth, ch. 4)
P.S. I think the book is absolutely brilliant.
I recommend a tale of disapproving in-laws called "My Side of the Matter" which is also in the book... Rather funny.
Two other great shorts are included in Breakfast At Tiffany's: "A Christmas Memory" and "A Diamond Guitar".
If you like Capote be sure to see the movies "Capote" and "Infamous". The first is darker but brilliant and the second tells basically the same story but is very funny.
