I wanted to write about a very powerful and strong friendship between people who are

quite different and have a very different lives than each other.

Alice Elliott Dark is here to discuss her new novel Fellowship Point about the lifelong

friendship between two women.

I think the central image that keeps us fascinated with Joan of Arc all these years later is

the mental image of a woman in armor, on horseback, going to war.

Catherine Chen joins me to discuss Joan, her new novel imagining the life of Joan of

Arc.

Plus, Liz Harris will have news from the publishing world, and my colleagues MJ Franklin

and Liz Egan join me to talk about what we've been reading.

This is the Book Review Podcast.

It's July 8th.

I'm John Williams.

Alice Elliott Dark joins me now.

She is the author of the novel Think of England, which followed two remarkable story collections

Naked to the Waste and In the Glowing.

Her second novel just published is Fellowship Point, and we're lucky to have her here to

talk about it.

Hi, Alice.

Great to meet you.

Good morning, John.

I'm so happy to be here.
