Fellowship Point A Novel

Two women, eight decades of friendship, and one breathtaking stretch of Maine coastline that holds all their secrets. Fellowship Point is a magnificent exploration of loyalty, legacy, and the quiet courage it takes to claim your own story.

Agnes Lee has spent a lifetime crafting beloved children’s books under a pseudonym, but now she’s racing against time to complete her final novel and preserve Fellowship Point—the pristine peninsula that has anchored her summers for eighty years. To protect this sacred place, she must convince the shareholders to dissolve their partnership, including her dearest friend, Polly Wister.

Polly has built her life around devotion—to her professor husband, to her three sons, to the careful beauty of a well-tended home. But when Agnes’s plans collide with her family’s wishes, Polly faces an unexpected question: what does she actually want?

When an ambitious young editor arrives determined to coax Agnes into writing her memoirs, long-buried secrets surface with consequences that ripple through both women’s lives. Alice Elliott Dark has crafted what The Boston Globe calls “a magnificent storytelling feat”—an epic that spans the entire arc of the 20th century while feeling utterly contemporary.

The Washington Post praises it as “an ambitious and satisfying tale,” while The Christian Science Monitor celebrates its profound truth: “This magnificent novel affirms that change and growth are possible at any age.”

Perfect for readers who savor richly layered fiction about friendship, place, and the legacies we choose to leave behind.
