New England, anii ’50. După un început presărat cu evenimente nu tocmai fericite, Allison MacKenzie cunoaşte gloria: primul său roman, Castelul lui Samuel, devine bestseller. Dar succesul, oricât de plin de satisfacţii, poate avea un gust amar când admiraţia presei se transformă în hărţuire zilnică. Numai iubirea clandestină pe care o trăieşte în New York cu Lewis, editorul ei, pare sinceră pentru ea. Pentru a se pune la adăpost, Allison se întoarce la Peyton Place, în casa părintească, alături de mama sa, Constance. Dar va trebui să înfrunte din nou ura întregului oraş, o ură alimentată de invidie... Cu Întoarcerea la Peyton Place, Grace Metalious a scris un roman sensibil şi emoţionant; în spatele personajului Allison, cititorul o va recunoaşte pe autoare şi suferinţele cu care aceasta s-a confruntat după publicarea volumului Peyton Place, romanul-cult vândut în peste 12 milioane de exemplare în întreaga lume. La rândul său, Întoarcerea la Peyton Place a devenit rapid bestseller internaţional, cartea fiind ecranizată de două ori, pentru marele ecran şi pentru televiziune.

La rançon du succès Années 1950. Nouvelle-Angleterre. Après des débuts mouvementés, Allison MacKenzie connaît la gloire : son premier roman, Le Château de Samuel, est un immense best-seller. Mais le succès, si exaltant soit-il, peut avoir un goût amer quand l''adulation de la presse se mue en harcèlement quotidien. Seul l''amour clandestin qu''elle vit à New York avec Lewis, son éditeur, lui paraît sincère. Afin de se préserver, Allison se réfugie à Peyton Place, où vit toujours sa mère, Constance. C''est cependant à la haine de toute la ville qu''elle va se heurter une fois encore. Une haine féroce attisée par la jalousie... Avec Retour à Peyton Place, Grace Metalious signe un roman particulièrement sensible et touchant puisque, derrière le personnage d''Allison, le lecteur reconnaîtra l''auteure et les tourments auxquels elle a été confrontée après la parution de Peyton Place, son roman culte vendu à plus de dix millions d''exemplaires dans le monde.

Terug naar Peyton Place

release date: Oct 01, 2015
Terug naar Peyton Place
De opvolger van de controversiële bestseller uit de jaren vijftig Na het fenomenale succes van haar eerste roman schreef Grace Metalious al snel het vervolg: Terug naar Peyton Place. In dit deel breekt Allison door als auteur van de expliciete roman Samuels kasteel, over het leven en de bewoners van Peyton Place. Dat wordt haar niet in dank afgenomen. Daarnaast heeft ze ook nog eens een affaire met haar uitgever, een getrouwde man. Haar jeugdvriendin Selena is inmiddels manager van de plaatselijke kledingwinkel en zorgt voor haar broertje Joey. De rust is over wanneer ze genadeloos verliefd wordt op een beroemde acteur. Bestsellerauteur Grace Metalious weet als geen ander hoe je een verhaal moet vertellen. Haar romans over het burgerleventje in een Amerikaans plattelandsstadje – bekend van tv en films waarvan miljoenen mensen wereldwijd hebben genoten – brengen aan het licht hoeveel schijnheiligheid en verdorvenheid er schuilgaan achter een nette façade.
