THE FORTUNE'S ROCKS QUARTET collects four of Anita Shreve's most beloved novels--Fortune's Rocks, The Pilot's Wife, Sea Glass, and Body Surfing--for the first time. The novels highlight Shreve's ability to illuminate women's lives across different eras and share a delightful detail: they are all set in the same coastal New England home, one that has inspired Shreve for over a decade. Any house with age to it can tell a million stories about the families who have lived there, and Shreve has been quoted as saying, ''You could base an entire life's work on the people who come in and out of a house.''
