Elisabeth Ogilvie’s Jennie Trilogy is a historical fiction series set in the early nineteenth century. The three books follow Jennie Hawthorne from her life in Scotland through her emigration to Maine, where she builds a new life on the American coast. Jennie About to Be (1984) opens the story, The World of Jennie G. (1986) continues her journey, and Jennie Glenroy (1993) brings it to a close.
The trilogy gave Ogilvie a chance to explore her favorite Maine coastal setting in a historical context, and the books have a different feel from her contemporary fiction. The research into early nineteenth-century life in both Scotland and Maine adds depth to the story, and Jennie is one of Ogilvie’s most fully realized characters.
