A review by bethreadsandnaps
Fellowship Point by Alice Elliott Dark
4.0
I love a novel about friendship, especially when the friendship has spanned many decades with older female protagonists.
Agnes and her friend Polly own two of the original houses in Fellowship Point. As the owners have died off one by one, there is interest in selling off the land to developers by Polly's son James. Agnes and Polly have their own intentions for the land.
Agnes works as a writer on "Nan" children's stories. Her new editor Maud has an idea for a new writing project for Agnes, and she goes out to Fellowship Point to meet Agnes face-to-face. There she becomes charmed by the older women and Fellowship Point.
As I stated early on in the review, I loved these two women, their stories that we learn over the 60ish years that this story takes place. Agnes and Polly took different paths in life, but I love how their story fits together.
At times, the narrative is a bit disjointed. And late in the novel, we find a one in several million coincidence that does have me roll my eyes at its convenience. Still, though, I really sunk in with this novel.
