À propos de cet audio
In 1956, when this novel was first published, communities all over New England snapped up copies to see if they were the town portrayed in the book. Peyton Place is the story of a repressive New England town known for its high standards of public morality, and the steamy sexual activities that take place behind its bedroom doors. While the town's rigid mores lead to hypocrisy and repression, the earthy characters have an unbelievably high level of sexual functioning, especially the playboy Rodney Harrington and the profoundly round-heeled Betty Anderson. In this environment, Allison McKenzie, a dreamy girl coming to womanhood, must make her way without a father, living with her frigid mother, Constance McKenzie.
©1956 Grace Metalious (P)2001 Books on Tape, Inc.Ce que les critiques en disent
"Metalious was a competent writer with some flair whose punchy workmanlike prose efficiently captured her little inland New England hamlet's earthy (if somewhat unbelievably sexually functional) populace." (Kirkus Reviews)

Still a great story after almost 70 years!
I was a small child when Peyton Place, the soap opera, was on our black and white TV. I remember adults talking about it and for decades after( and still) community gossip or tales always referred to comments like “ what a Peyton Place”! , or “just as bad as a Peyton Place!”. I came across the book by accident in Audible and used a credit and I must admit, I thought probably that was a credit thrown away but NO! I LOVED THIS WHOLE 16 HOUR JOURNEY! Do b it! Add it your library, you won’t regret it. And first though, I suggest listening to the 4 hour book about the real life murder that Grace Metalious uses in her book, first. It’s here on audible and it also tells Grace’s tragic story.

A great listen!
A great listen about the Secret lives of people living in small-town America. This book hits home a little too hard! Wonderful performance by the narrator. The story was equally great. Highly recommended.
