Excellent book. This book sucked me in fast and didn't let go. My heart was squeezed thru the whole book and I didn't want it to end!

"Beguiling and richly rewarding....This story of passion and scandal at the end of the last centruy is a breathtaking, highly entertaining novel. Olympia may well be the most alluring female since Nabokov's Lolita...No praise is too high for Fortune's Rocks. The book will take hold of you and not let go until the last word."

My new FAVORITE BOOK OF ALL TIME I did not want it to end and want a sequel to this story for sure. I hope you are writing already Anita.
Another wonderful book by Shreve. This story takes place at the same location as Sea Glass, but earlier, at the turn of the century. This book had an excellent, consistant pace, moving the story along nicely through all its 450 pages. Shreve mixes personal stories and the politics of the day (labor issues, immigration, class, religion) for a compelling story.
I like this book the best of all Anita Shreve's books. Some of her books are good, some aren't, some take a lot of patience to read. Fortune's Rocks is a story of a young girl at the turn of the century (1900) who falls in love with an older, married man. Not a good thing! You can guess what happens, but it's still a fascinating read.
