Young, vivacious Joanna Bennett desperately wishes to be captain of her own lobstering boat, but despite being the favored daughter of Bennett’s Island’s founding family, she is still just a girl in the eyes of the community, and a girl living off the coast of Maine in the early 20th century is expected to mind the kitchen, not tend to pot buoys. While quietly struggling to find her place on insular Bennett’s Island, one where she could let her bold and opinionated nature shine without shaming her family, Joanna instead finds love when she meets a witty stranger with a sparkling smile just off the mailboat. One whirlwind courtship and wedding later, Joanna finds herself master of her own house, and every aspect of her beloved island seems to reflect her joy. But when the luster begins to wear off and her husband’s dark secrets slowly reveal themselves, Joanna must draw on her determination, resilience, and resourcefulness to keep her family together.This evocative coming-of-age story transports readers to the beautiful and rugged Maine coast, where families must eke their livelihoods from the tempestuous ocean but in return they’re afforded the daily splendor and simple pleasures of island life.

Review 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. (Chicago Tribune)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. (New York Times)

Life, Love, and Lobsters By A Customer This absorbing family saga (the first volume in the Tide Trilogy) follows the life of its central character, Joanna Bennett, from girlhood to adulthood. Although that hardly qualifies as riveting subject matter, the novel is altogether satisfying on two levels.First, the setting is extraordinarily vivid and crucial to the action. Joanne lives on a small island off the coast of Maine, the daughter of a lobsterman and sister to 5 brothers struggling to earn a living in that same increasingly difficult way. The ocean in all its moods, the ever-present wind, the wheeling seagulls--these and other natural elements permeate the story in such a way that I felt I'd actually been living on the island by the time I'd finished reading the book. Most readers would agree it's a remarkable, and very pleasant, experience to have a book transport you so completely to another time and place."High Tide at Noon" satisfies on a second level by making the reader care about the characters and what happens to them. Joanna's life as a young girl seems idyllic on the surface, but two men (one of whom she marries) bring plenty of trouble her way in due course. We also get to know the rest of her family, following them, as well, through the ups and downs of their lives--always with the sea and the disappearing lobster catches as background. When the lobster traps keep coming up empty, you care. I count that as an admirable achievement on the author's part....I want to find out what happens next. Need I say more?

Maine islander By Laurie This book really does a good job of capturing the life of maine islanders and the ups and downs of living amongst a small population (gossip, extending credit at the store, and helping out your neighbors). I am looking for the rest of the trilogy now :).
