Peyton Place - The Novel Has anyone here read it? I never heard of it until maybe a year or two ago and now I hear references to it all the time. I looked it up a lo & behold it takes place practically in my backyard. I'm now on a mission to get a copy and read it! Any reviews from anyone here? |
I first read Peyton Place when it was still considered trashy. I re-read it again many years later. It's a very interesting book that takes place in a small New England town. The author, Grace Metalious was a housewife with three kids who just decided to write a book. She wrote the sequel Return to Peyton Place a few years later. Grace Metalious died from alcoholism at the age of 39. Her book sold millions of copies and in my opinion is a classic. |
Good to know! Yeah I did read that she died really young from alcoholism. That's sad! So you loved the book? I think my girlfriend finally talked me into joining her book club so I guess this is going to be my first book when I get to pick a book to read! Thanks for the feedback! |
