Back in the day, Peyton Place was considered By today's standards, it did not seem quite as racy. The story takes place in the small town of Peyton Place, NH in the 1930's and 1940's. It is about the secrets and lies of the small town residents and the consequences of those secrets. The book reminded me of a soap opera and I am glad to have read it since it played a part in American pop culture.
