On a beach in New Hampshire at the turn of the last century, a young woman is drawn into a rocky, disastrous passage to adulthood. Olympia Biddeford is the only child of a prominent Boston couple - a precocious and well-educated daughter alive with ideas and flush with the first stirrings of maturity. Her summer at the family's vacation home in Fortune's Rock is transformed by the arrival of a doctor, a friend of her father's, whose new book about mill-town labourers has caused a sensation. Olympia is captivated by his thinking, his stature, and his drive to do right. She and the doctor come together in an unthinkable, tortuous, hopelessly passionate affair.
Hard cover, good condition. Large print.
