Another enjoyable Ogilvie Maine Island novel....in essence the beginning of the Bennett Island saga that taps into the history of Maine becoming a state separate from Massachusetts in 1820, as part of the Missouri Compromise......interesting history about the state i now love and call home, and another mental adventure living off the coast of Maine on an island.....what it may lack in earth-shattering literary quality is well overshadowed by the hold it has over my own obsession with island living......loved it!
