Elisabeth Ogilvie wrote 46 books including Storm Tide, Ebbing Tide, and her memoir My World is an Island. In 1947 she won the New England Women’s Press Association award for Storm Tide. Ogilvie grew up in the greater Boston area, but lived in Maine from 1944 until her death in 2006 and remains one of Maine’s best loved writers.
Those who love Maine either personally or vicariously in a novel will find A High Tide at Noon deeply satisfying, for its author loves the place she is writing about with such intensity that she makes it glow in her pages.

Elisabeth Ogilvie is going to make a lot of her readers—and not only those who love the New England coast—homesick for some world of their own vanished now beyond recall….Miss Ogilvie’s writing has a warm and homespun quality which suits her story well. There is an honest smell of salt and seaweed in it.
