“The relationship now was one of people with a shared common past, nostalgic, and wistful. They asked her how she was, but didn’t really ask; she asked them, and they didn’t really tell. Instead, they all turned to the grandchildren, who were inventing their own common past, their summer rituals.”

Agnes and Polly have been friends since they were infants and they are now in their final years. In the novel Fellowship Point, these two women have choices to make that impact their families and future. These choices highlight their differences as people and their shared values. 

Alice Elliot Dark writes a compelling story with many complex characters that wrestle with important issues like class, legacy, history, and preservation.

I read this at the beach and enjoyed spending time on Fellowship Point. My favorite parts of the novel involved  friendship, forgiveness, beauty, and the writer’s life.
