Stack of books to draw11/21/2023 But this book isn’t just about a well-crafted conflict grounded in character. When Agnes asks Polly to join her in putting the land in conservations, Polly hesitates-her oldest son James is backing the development. But a proposed development, and the conflicting sensibilities of outsiders, threatens the Point. Into this opposed friendship, Dark also inserts what she calls “a property plot,” into the story.įellowship Point, a peninsula on the coast of Maine, has a storied history, one that Agnes and Polly have a part in-their families have been there for centuries. Agnes is unmarried, a writer, now somewhat prickly against the compliant Polly, married with three children, and privately suffering over the loss of Lydia, a daughter who died at age nine. Fellowship Point, by story writer, novelist, and poet Alice Elliott Dark, also follows a lifelong friendship, but when we meet Agnes Lee and Polly Wister, their already in their eighties, their Philadelphian Quaker families having been friends since they were born, we see how a lifelong friendship plays out when tested.
