This is the first time reading a book by Elinor Lipman (recommended by my sister) and I really enjoyed it! Set in the anti-Semitic world of the genteel (and Gentile) world of the Inn at Lake Devine, Vermont, 14 year old Natalie Marx can't believe she is not welcome due to her being Jewish. She spends much of her life trying to penetrate this forbidden setting. Lots of funny prose poking fun of the foibles of the Jewish and goyish communities of the time, this book is satisfying and fun to read.
