A House on the Hights by Truman Capote

This book is about you guessed it Brooklyn Hights. It talks about why he likes Brooklyn Hights as he said "Hights because it stands atop a cliff that secures a sea-gull's view of Manhattan and Brooklyn bridges, of lower Manhattan's tall dazzle and the ship-lane waters, breeding river to bay to ocean, that encircle and seethe past posturing Miss Liberty." He tells us about the house he used to live next to and how long it has been in Brooklyn Hights. He said that it was built in 1790 for a ship captain but the period prints dated to 1830 he says it's the oldest building. He used to live in Brooklyn Hights not because he was forced but by choice.
