St. Barts 2018 #7 - My island vacation would not be complete without an Elisabeth Ogilvie Island book, and next up was Strawberries in the Sea. Basically featuring new characters with some of the familiar old Bennett Island stand-by's in very peripheral background roles....but Ogilvie's grip on the feel, taste, & smell of primitive Maine island life is still there loud and strong, which is why i love them so much. This story was not the best, but did create a believable sense of what a woman forced to divorce a wandering husband may go through and how she works to recover from that trauma. Lots of food, boats, fishing and chores....all the basic staples of island life off the coast of Maine. A little sappy, yet not necessarily the show more 'happily ever after' ending i expected. It's all good..... show less
