About this listen

If Shakespeare were a lady….

A cross between humorous poetry and memoir, 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 sexual 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 (all female listeners actually) and the men who love them.

Think Shakespeare at the mall.

For fans of Judith Viorst, Amy Sedaris, and Dorothy Parker. Sonnets from Suburbia is long-time actress Penny Peyser’s first foray into poetry and sonnets, and she couldn’t be more thrilled about this new venture.
