Fortune's rocks : a novel / Anita Shreve.

Shreve, Anita. (Author).

Summary:

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 four 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.
