- Synopsis
- Whistle for a Wind, is set in 1820, on Brigport (the real-life island of Matinicus), where the Bennetts lived before settling on the island that bears their name. Here we meet Jamie Bennett, the patriarch of the Bennetts, and learn about island life during the year that Maine became a state. In typical Ogilvie fashion, the story revolves around a central crisis: Wreckers are at work on the island, luring ships onto the rocks in order to abscond with their cargo. The skipper of the Cynthia is killed in one such raid, and soon Jamie is involved in bringing the killers to justice. Jamie exhibits all of the traits that readers have come to love in the Bennett family: integrity, loyalty, and a fierce love for family and the island.
