A seven-day stay on Star [Island] seems much longer, writes Emma Whitford in an essay about her summers at the Unitarian Universalist retreat on an island in New Hampshire. Intimacy is easy and immediate. Recent strangers pass steaming trays family-style in the dining hall, and pile onto sagging couches around clawfooted round tables in the Oceanic’s lobby to play cards and wait for the lunch bell. In the evening, sunset pulls everyone out to the orange-dipped west end of the porch, to drop their arms around one another’s shoulders and gape.
