Our book group meets on the last Wednesday of the month at 1pm. This month we are reading “Fellowship Point” by Alice Elloitt Dark.
Allice Elliott Dark’s Fellowship Point begins as an elderly woman’s quest to protect the Maine peninsula she loves (Fellowship Point) from development. As the novel unfolds, it showcases the friendship between this woman and her lifelong companion, who have spent summers together on the Point since their childhood. Coming of age at a time when roles for women were limiting, Agnes and Polly have taken separate paths but remained intensely connected to one another. As both women reckon with aging and life fulfillment, Agnes is approached to write a memoir. In doing so, Agnes wrestles with divulging secrets she has kept hidden for decades.
