Synopsis
In the summer of 1899, 15-year-old Olympia Biddeford visits the New Hampshire coast with her wealthy Boston family. Spirited and bright, she soon befriends her father's colleague, Dr. John Haskell, a talented writer, respected physician, and enthusiastic philanthropist. Olympia's summer of awakenings--both intellectual and sexual--turns bleak when her love affair with the good doctor, who is a married father of four and 26 years Olympia's senior, is uncovered.

Publisher's Note
In a summer community on the coast of New Hampshire at the turn of the last century, a girl is drawn into a passionate affair with a man nearly three times her age. Fortune's Rocks is the story of Olympia Biddeford -- privileged, well educated, and mature beyond her years -- and her affair with John Haskell, who not only is a physician, essayist, and champion of mill workers but also is married with three children. Drawn inexorably together on the night of the summer solstice, the pair set in motion a series of events with far-reaching consequences for all involved.

Industry reviews
"[P]leasantly atmospheric....Olympia leaps out in sharp focus from the first page, but the conscientiously tangled plodding and the muddle it provokes in her show the strain of transplanting a millennial sensibility back a hundred years."
Kirkus Reviews  (10/15/1999)

"Like Shreve's last novel..., FORTUNE'S ROCKS is a slickly made confection for readers who want to laugh and cry at the noble struggle of the human heart...."
New York Times Book Review - Albert Mobilio (12/26/1999)

"FORTUNE'S ROCKS is a powerful portrait of that dangerous limbo of a girl's adolescence when she is no longer a child but not yet a woman."
Literary Review - Kirsten Davison (05/20/2000)
