Peyton Place
A Classics, Fiction book. Indian summer is like a woman. Ripe, hotly passionate, but fickle, she comes and goes as she pleases so...
First published in 1956, PEYTON PLACE uncovers the passions, lies and cruelties that simmer beneath the surface of a postcard-perfect town. At the centre of the novel are three women, each with a secret to hide: Constance MacKenzie, the original desperate housewife; her daughter Allison, whose dreams are stifled by small-town small-mindedness; and Selena Cross, her gypsy-eyed friend from the wrong side of the tracks. 'PEYTON PLACE shocked America with its tale of secrets, sex and hypocrisy in a small New Hampshire town . . Saucy, compelling, and surprisingly literary ...A crafty, page-turning brew of illicit sex, secret lives, public drunkenness, abortion, incest and murder ...A scandalous phenomenon' VANITY FAIR

Like many of you I was introduced to PEYTON PLACE... http://sleaze-factor.blogspot.ca/2016... Wow! A bit of a shocker even now so I can see why this caused such an uproar when it came out in the 50's. I just loved Doc Swain. He was by far my favorite.
