FIRST BOOK CLUB EDITION [1956] SIMON & SCHUSTER

Beautiful black leatherette hardcover sans dust jacket.  Book is in excellent condition.  Minor shelf wear to cover.  Reads like new. 

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.
