Fortune's Rocks - Anita Shreve
Set 100 years ago in Boston, Fortune's Rocks is a classic of literary and romantic storytelling. Her father handles her education himself and is in fact a publisher of mildly liberal literature. Fourteen-year-old Olympic Biddeford is spending the summer with her parents at their seasonal house at Fortune's Rocks.
40 years old, married with four children, he still embarks on an affair with the adolescent girl. One author he admires, who also practises as a physician, comes to visit the house. They have a swift, passionate summer, torn apart when they are discovered together during Olympic's fifteenth birthday party.
She is taken back to Boston, her parents are mortified and remove themselves from society. When Olympic is delivered of 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...This 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.
