Set 100 years ago in Boston, FORTUNE''S ROCKS is a classic of
literary and romantic storytelling. Fifteen-year-old Olympia
Biddeford is spending the summer with her parents at their seasonal
house at Fortune''s Rocks. Her father handles her education himself
and is in fact a publisher of mildly liberal literature. One author
he admires, who also practises as a physician, comes to visit the
house. 40 years old, married with four children, he nonetheless
embarks on an affair with the girl. They have a swift, passionate
summer, torn apart when they are discovered together during
Olympia''s birthday party. She is taken back to Boston, her parents
are mortified and remove themselves from society. When Olympia
gives birth to a baby boy nine months later, he is taken from her
and she finds herself in exile at a ladies college and then as a
governess. She decides she must get her child back, which means
returning to Fortune''s Rocks...The sensuality of a girl''s rite of
passage, the descriptions of landscape, weather, music and light,
are vintage Shreve and her seventh novel will thrill her many
admirers.
