I just finished The Inn at Lake Devine and I give it ✡✡✡✡ 1/2.
This is a re-read of an older book (part of 'rereading Elinor Lipman' phase and I haven't read it in a long time. Natalie learns as a young girl that a resort in Vermont (near where her Newton-based family has been vacationing) is restricted (ie allows no Jews) and this fact doesn't necessarily affect her through her whole life but it has a huge influence on what happens in the story. This is a good story with a lot of humor and some important messages. I took off a half a star because as much as I love Lipman's voice, all her main characters (regardless of the book) speak in the same voice.
