Author Anita Shreve

There's a house in New Hampshire that's been a central fixture in many books. It's been home to such women as Olympia Biddeford, Honora Beecher, and Kathryn Lyons. Of course, those women never really existed – and neither did the house. They're all the creation of author Anita Shreve. Tonight on the Front Porch, the celebrated New England author joins us to talk about her work and the role the Granite State plays in it. Her new book is called Body Surfing.
