By moonchild (Toronto, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fortune's Rocks (Hardcover)
I introduced this book to a book club several years ago and it was a big hit. I couldn't put it down, and since this book, i have gone on to read all of Anita Shreve's work. I would highly recommend this!!!

evocative & inspiring.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Fortune's Rocks: A Novel (Paperback)
this is my favourite anita shreve book, (along with strange fits of passion).the book has an air of henry james to it, & the story is probably quite a typical victoria theme, though one kept tightly uder wraps during this period! the young, impressionable girl, bored & restless, has her head turned by the attractive, intelligent, successful "married" older man, & following from the passion that ensues, this stories tells of the tragic results of this liaison, anita really studies her subject, is a thoughtful & gentle writer, who writes with a air of quietness that draws you in. i loved this book as it evoked a key period in history of dramatic change & the subsequence of this is apparent now, & particulary an interesting time for women, who were beginning to get their voice more, & here we see a spirited, strong minded version of this in our heroine.

Very greatful,
By Kelly (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Fortune's Rocks: A Novel (Paperback)
I started my Anita Shreve reading with "The Pilot's Wife." The next novel I came across by her was this one. I have a busy life, sometimes larger novels can take me quite some time to accomplish. This book, I basically sat down and read in just a couple sittings. The main character in this novel showed what it was like to love and be loved, and how love can overcome all time. Normally that would turn me off about a novel, but there was an actual story surrounding it. A life that you could get yourself drawn into and appreciate the words on the page for. It was a very moving novel and I can not wait to pass it on to my friends to enjoy. I can't wait to read another book by what is becoming one of my favourite authors.
