Elisabeth Ogilvie wrote 46 books including The Seasons Hereafter, Strawberries in the Sea 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.
The magic of the memory of a Maine day at its brilliant best, bringing back the nostalgic delight of a childhood summer, perhaps perfect in happiness, uncapturable now except for remembering….[T]he kind of transposed reading-into-actuality that leaves you practically as healthy and sunburned as two weeks vacation.
