Grace Metalious has done it again! As with her phenomenal success with Peyton Place, Grace Metalious creates a multi-layered portrait of small-town America . . . with a twist.
Beneath the seemingly calm surface of this smug New England community, their turbulent passions and fears begin to boil, exploding the hypocrisy hidden behind the guise of the respectable Tight White Collar.
Once again, she has depicted a small, tight-knit and snobbish northern New England community. Once again there seem to be almost no characters who haven't something murky in the past-or present-to hide.
Anthony Cooper, nephew of the owners of Cooper's Mills, who found his summer's amusement in a violent and illicit love affair . . .
Chris Pappas, the guy from the wrong side of the tracks, who might lose his job for a "mistake" he made in high school . . .

David Strong, the music teacher, who hated women but couldn't admit-even to himself-the reason why . . .
