Product Description
From Library Journal
Published in 1954, 1966, and 1973, respectively, all of these volumes are set in Bennett's Island, ME, and all are essentially the love stories of women who come to the island either looking for love or trying to get away from it. Though LJ's reviewer found Strawberries "light reading," the book nonetheless was praised for capturing the "atmosphere of the small island and the character of its people." (LJ 8/73)

A lovely Bennett's Island tale.,
By
This review is from: Dawning of the Day, The (Paperback)
This is a lovely story of World War II widow Phillipa who travels to Bennett's Island to work as a teacher. Leaving behind her own young son, she focuses on reaching the students living on an isolated island off the coast of Maine. There, Phillipa confronts prejudice against a handicapped child, as well as learning things about herself. Along with Ogilvie's usual wonderful descriptions of life on an island in the years following the war, the reader also gets a warm and simple love story of two lonely, independent people. As usual with Ogilvie's writings, there is a twist at the end and the seeming tranquility of island living really hides intense passions. A wonderful book I have read several times.
