“Why is the repetition of one’s names by a favored person so powerful?”
“Her true feeling was not that women were equal, as that in itself was a comparison, but that they were whole. Isn’t that indisputable?”
“I loved someone. Did you- dear friend- finally realize who it was?”

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.

Fellowship Point by Alice Elliott Dark was an absolutely unique, complex and intriguing read! The read follows along as these women navigate life, and the mistakes, love, secrets and betrayals that come along with it! The characters are all well done, even if they only appear for a short period of time. The book brings up many topics feminism, friendship, philosophy, aging and love! Making it a thought provoking read! Following along as Agnes secrets are revealed and the bond between the women had me wanting to turn the pages faster! It is a long book and no it won't be a book for everyone but I loved every minute I spent reading this fantastic book!
