Book Review of Fortune's Rocks

Fortune's Rocks
Fortune's Rocks
Author: Anita Shreve
Genre: Literature & Fiction
Book Type: Hardcover
reviewed on


This book is not literature, but it's haunting none the less. How can you make a case for pedophilia? There is no way, but the author takes us into the minds of two people who are caught up in a passion that seems so right to them, nothing else matters. From the perspective of the reader, it's a moral morass. Reminds me of the situation in "L'Immoralist," though that, of course, IS literature.
