about this author
Grace Metalious (September 8, 1924 – February 25, 1964) was an American author, best known for the controversial novel Peyton Place. She was born into poverty and a broken home as Marie Grace de Repentigny in the mill town of Manchester, New Hampshire. Blessed with the gift of imagination, she was driven to write from an early age. After graduating from Manchester High School Central, she married George Metalious in 1943, became a housewife and mother, lived in near squalor — and continued to write. |

quotes by Grace Metalious
""Oh!" gasped Allison, outraged. "Now I'm a sneak, am I? Well, I do mean you, Kathy Ellsworth. There. I think you're silly and stupid with your rented house and your dumb boyfriend Lewis Welles, and your eternal talk about getting married and having babies, babies, babies!"
"Well!" said Kathy, standing up and maintaining what she was pleased to refer to as "an icy calm", "Well! I'm certainly glad that I found out what you think of me before it was too late! Goodbye!""
— Grace Metalious (Peyton Place)
