About this product

Product Information

Switch off those TVs, kill your mobiles and settle down with the most controversial book ever written. Once denounced as 'wicked', 'sordid', 'cheap' 'moral filth', PEYTON PLACE was the top read of its time and sold millions of copies worldwide. Way before TWIN PEAKS, SURVIVOR or BIG BROTHER, the curtains were twitching in the mythical New England town of Peyton Place, and this soapy story exposed the dirty secrets of 1950s small-town America: incest, abortion, adultery, repression and lust. Take a peek ...

  • Life in small-town New England

    I bought this book to see what the fuss was about when it was first published in 1956. It goes behind the curtains of a small New England town and reveals the more sordid lives of the people. It is the sexual lives that are revealed and caused the controversy - adultery, lust, rape, incest and even murder get the Metalious treatment. Of course, these subjects are not graphically described as they would be nowadays, but in more nuanced and innuendo style. The book is said to have been one of the inspirations for David Lynch's Twin Peaks. I liked this book
