Thoughtful, moving and very funny sonnets. I enjoyed them immensely. - Alan Arkin, Author & Oscar winning actor
Unique and charming and frankly should be in every high school Shakespeare class. - John Kenney, New York Times bestselling author.
If Shakespeare was a lady...
Sonnets from Suburbia features Lady Penelope (aka actress Penny Peyser) serving up a funny take on modern day life in Shakespearean sonnet form.
From the foibles of friendship, to romantic relationships gone awry, to aging bodies that misbehave, to the woes of social media and confounding familial tussles, she has the uncanny ability to make us smile out loud and chuckle with recognition. This is definitely one of those books for when you need a good laugh.
The clever, compassionate sonnets inside this book make a perfect gift for birthdays, anniversaries and Valentine's Day and are sure to delight women over 40 and the men who love them.
Think Shakespeare at the mall.
For fans of Judith Viorst, Amy Sedaris, Dorothy Parker, Billy Collins and John Kenney - Sonnets from Suburbia is long-time actress Penny Peyser's first book.
