	Amazon.com: Looking for Peyton Place: A Novel: Books: Barbara Delinsky (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		This novel was a courageous evolution of not only Barbara Delinsky's writing talent and natural psychological wisdom; it was a courageous exposure of what appeared to be Barbara's (as well as Annie's) personal foibles given with endearing self-awareness of personality flaws and sparks.
		I'm almost chilled with an enormous sense of loss, when I think that this novel might not have been written or published exactly as is. Prior to reading this novel, I wouldn't have believed I could enjoy it as I did, and come away healed in the areas the story addressed.
		In this novel the author has at least attempted to show how important it can be to take time to gain a true perspective cleared of personal vendettas, prior to methodically working to destroy someone else's way of life or economic structure of well-being.

		“Peyton Place” centers on three women: Allison McKenzie, a teenager and an aspiring writer; her friend, Selena Cross, the dark-haired “bad girl” from across the tracks; and Allison's mother, Constance McKenzie.
		Detractors blamed Metalious' novel on the ravings of a dirty mind, but the most notorious plot turn, the rape of Selena by her stepfather, Lucas Cross, was based on a true story: The 1947 confession by a Gilmanton woman that she had murdered her father, who had been sexually abusing her for years.
		“Peyton Place” was turned into a juicy, but slightly tamed movie starring Hope Lange and Lana Turner, and later a wholly domesticated TV series, starring Mia Farrow and Ryan O'Neal.

		``Peyton Place'' gave Metalious the money she wanted, but because she was inexperienced in business, she only got $75,000 for the movie rights.

		Though Grace actually lived in a nearby town, the residents of Middle River have always believed she used them as the model for her revolutionary novel, and some even insist Annie's grandmother was the model for one of Grace's most scandalous characters.
		With these rumors and whispers about Peyton Place haunting her childhood, Annie came to identify so closely with the author that it was Grace and her bold rebellion against 1950s conformity that inspired Annie to get out of Middle River and make a life for herself in Washington, D.C.

		Peyton Place uses such visual and verbal innuendo to allow the audience to reconstruct the events absent from the screen.
		An abortion becomes a miscarriage, an overbearing mother who still gives her son enemas at age seventeen becomes simply overprotective, and a gold-digging slut becomes a “flashy girl.” The drawback to this approach is that the movie becomes a surrogate text instead of standing on its own merits.
		In one short scene in Peyton Place, for example, accusations of sexual impropriety are followed by a revelation of illegitimate birth, which can only be topped by the discovery of a dead body in the closet.
