4.0 out of 5 stars Sweet return to Bennett's Island, April 30, 1998

This review is from: The Day Before Winter (Bennett's Island) (Hardcover)

It's Vietnam era, but the time period is only incidental in this slow and lazy trip to the Island. Joanna and Nils are almost on their own, until long-lost cousin Hal joins them. He's all Bennett, and the reader loves him from the start, but is he all that he seems?

Ogilvie devotees get a chance to catch up on all the Bennetts in this latest episode. It's an excellent read.

Elisabeth Ogilvie is a wonderful author and should in my opinion have a revival. She brings life to her characters and puts you in a birds' eye seat for the ride. She makes you care what happens to these characters and lets you see most of them again in succeeding books. I love the Bennets' Island characters and I know that Island is out there and I can't wait to visit even if it is only in the next book I read. I wish there were many more stories out there in this series waiting for me to find them but I guess theere isn't since the author is dead. So sad to all her readers and the characters she brought to life in her stories.

4.0 out of 5 stars The wonderful saga of the Bennett family continues., February 17, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Day Before Winter (Bennett's Island) (Hardcover)

This is a continuation of Joanna Bennett Sorensen's family which began when she was a girl of about 19. The reader gets to know the Main lobster-fishing life and comes to love and appreciate every member of the large close and extended family.
