Descripción: Críticas "An engrossing, relatable tale about female friendship and the growing pains of long relationships." --Real Simple "Marvelous . . . . Reading this novel is a transportive experience, similar to spending a long, luxurious summer on the shores of a picturesque Maine peninsula. It's full of memorable adventures, tense moments of family drama, and opportunities for restorative contemplation. Through it all, Fellowship Point harkens back to one of Howard's End's big messages: 'Only connect.'" --Alice Cary, BookPage (starred review)"Into every long and lazy summer, at least one great heavyweight novel must fall. . . . Dark's brisk, generous prose is worth the weight." --Leah Greenblatt, Entertainment Weekly(Best of July)"An ambitious and satisfying tale of the lifelong friendship between two women in their 80s." --Becky Meloan, Washington Post"Friendship is tethered to geography in Alice Elliott Dark's capacious novel Fellowship Point. . . . . The sense that these characters are still growing, despite their old age, contributes to the novel's wonderful texture, its feeling of depth and ongoingness. Both women are superbly depicted." -Sam Sacks, Wall Street Journal "Longing for an old-fashioned 19th century novel - but without the time travel? FELLOWSHIP POINT earns its nearly 600 pages with a quietly complex structure, starring two octogenarian women whose long friendship is entangled with their families' landholdings in coastal Maine. As they seek to save the acreage from development, Agnes Lee and Polly Wister must also confront their past choices and find some peace in the present." --Los Angeles Times, 10 Books for July"Engrossing... studded with wisdom about longheld bonds." --People Magazine, Book of the Week "An utterly engrossing, sweeping work." --TIME, Top 10 Books of July 2022"Enthralling, masterfully written . . . Fellowship Point is a novel rich with social and psychological insights, both earnest and sly, big ideas grounded in individual emotions, a portrait of a tightly knit community made up of artfully drawn, individual souls." -Kate Christensen, New York Times Book Review"Exquisitely written, utterly engrossing . . . It is hard to write about this novel without gushing. You sink into it with a sigh of contentment, as into a hot bath. Its characters, settings, and deftly woven plot pull you right in, the better to soak in its reflections on aging, writing, stewardship, legacies, independence, and responsibility. At its heart, Fellowship Point is about caring for the places and people we love . . . Fellowship Point has the complexity, pace, and length of an absorbing 19th century epic . . . [and its] various plotlines dovetail with amazing grace, culminating in a moving, well-earned climax . . . This magnificent novel affirms that change and growth are possible at any age." -Heller McAlpin, Christian Science Monitor"Fans who devoured 'In the Gloaming' and other, earlier works, rejoice. Striking from the first for its clear, sharply intelligent voice, streaming wisdom and wit on nearly all of close to 600 pages, Fellowship [Point] embodies a magnificent storytelling feat." --Boston Globe"I can't remember the last time I've fallen so hard for a book. Fellowship Point is about many things: friendship, secrets, legacy, love, family--but the true magic here is in the writing. Alice Elliott Dark has conjured a world so immersive I can still feel it in my bones. I mourned the finish, when I would have to leave behind the characters I grew to love. This captivating, unforgettable novel is thrillingly good." -- Cynthia D'Aprix Sweeney, New York Times bestselling author of Nest and Good Company "Fellowship Point is a marvel. Intricately constructed, utterly unique, this novel set on the coast of Maine is filled with insights about writing, about the perils and freedoms of aging, about the great mysteries, as well as the pleasures, of life. The story about the relationships between three women unfolds, as life doe
