A lovely Bennett's Island tale.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
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.
