Elisabeth Ogilvie was born in Boston and grew up in Dorchester, Wollaston, and Quincy, Massachusetts. She graduated from North Quincy High School in 1934. She spent summers with her parents and brothers in Maine, beachcombing, boating, and bird-watching, and these times became the inspiration for her writing. With the royalties from her first published novel, High Tide at Noon (1944), she bought an old farmhouse with 33 acres on Gay’s Island, where she lived with her companion, writer Dorothy Simpson, for many years. Her Bennett Island series of novels, which included the Tide trilogy, recounted loves, feuds, storms, and sea tales on a fictional Maine island.
She also wrote a series of novels based on her travels in the Scottish Highlands. She also wrote 14 popular books for young adults, focusing on two new generations of the Bennett family. Her autobiography, My World is An Island, was published in 1950 and reissued in 1990.

Cayman 2024 - #5 - I loved this book! Another Ogilvie book down......I'm slowly running out of them......dread! This was just full of unexpected twists and turns of a young marriage gone awry on the coast of Maine in a small village and the accompanying tragedies. Definitely a 'chick book'.....but Ogilvie's descriptions of Maine coastal life, traditions and the normalcy of the ocean and fishing culture into all of their everyday lives is always haunting to me. I got very caught up in the story.....and could not put it down. Maybe not for everyone..(.u know.....those that can figure out what is gonna happen 20 pages in).......but definitely for me!… (mais)

We were stationed in Rockland, Maine, and living on Owl's Head peninsula when I read this book. So, sure, I could relate. I would say Elizabeth Ogilvie had the writer's dream-life. All I can say, is...I WANTED HER LIFE!

Naples, FL 2023 #4 - Following up on the previous Ogilvie i read earlier, we are transported back to Applecross, Maine and Cape Silver with what seemed to me a fast-paced story of an outsider buying a historic property at the entrance to the cape, very unwilling to accept the 'warm' New England welcome to the neighborhood. He just wanted to be left alone. Disturbances occur......and then a series of small serious trouble, and then tragedy.....as seen from a longstanding 4th generation young couple care-taking the wildlife refuge Cape. And as always, the oceanside life of the Maine coast is chronicled so beautifully by Ogilvie, be it island life or mainland. Very startling turns of events continue to occur. Certainly a bit sappy and dated, but still a joy for me to read and imagine being there.… (mais)

Very much enjoyed this sappy romance amidst a frightening series of events pervading the tranquility of the unspoiled environment of Cape Silver on the coast of Maine. Early 20's Mirabell gets the opportunity to house & dog-sit for her aunt & uncle for 2 autumn months on their idyllic farm on the cape across from Applecross Harbor where she summered every summer as a child. Her old beau from that time period has also returned to the only other house on the cape at the other end, with a nature preserve in between. While this did not take place on an island as do most of Ogilivie's books, this might as well have been considering the isolation and difficulty getting around on the cape. Surprisingly, the mysteries and tragedies taking place after her arrival led to many possible explanations and theories, but they were constantly in upheaval as to the cause and reasons. I was always interested in trying to figure it out, and was somewhat surprised as to how it all finished out. Getting there thru the head of the frightened, stubborn 20-something year old Mirabell, who did not always make the wisest decisions, and was usually stubborn for all the wrong reasons, did get occasionally tedious, but Ogilvie's mastery of Maine coastal life trumped it all. Very enjoyable read for me!… (mais)
