Beschreibung:
Vietnamese edition of Peyton Place. A contemporary classic that had created a wave of publicity in the 50s, especially with the film version starring Lana Turner, and Hope Lange, among others... The deep dark secret of a little New England town became the back bone of a long running TV series... Vietnamese translation by Ta Thu Ha. Distributed by Tsai Fong Books, Inc.
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
