The Inn at Lake Devine

Eleanor Lipman

Andrew really liked this, it's quite Jewish, about a Jewish girl in the 50s/60s. Basic plot is that her mother tries to book a room and is given the brush-off "only gentiles go there", so the daughter has to go and stay there. He would have got more of the jokes if he had been Jewish-American. Main character is likeable. The older people are staid, the younger people more relaxed.
