Jennie Glenroy (Jennie Trilogy)
Veteran novelist Ogilvie, in her 41st novel, returns to Jennie Hawthorne Gilchrist Glenroy, heroine of two previous novels, 18 years after she and her husband, Alick, have fled Scotland for the coast of Maine in 1809. Alick's shipbuilding business is prospering, and their family has filled out to five children. Their lives are complicated by daughter Priscilla's love for an older man and their sons' involvement with a runaway slave, but the true test of Alick and Jennie's marriage comes when she is faced with a stunning reminder of their hidden past in Scotland. Ogilvie's style is gentle and episodic; she describes the Glenroys' lives over one year. Readers of the two Jennie novels will rejoice at the return of these characters, but this book stands on its own.
