The Inn at Lake Devine by Eleanor Lipman

I picked out this book quite randomly last time I was in the library.  The author's name was familiar and I read the inside cover description and it looked like a good read. I was not disappointed!
The story takes place in the early sixties and racial and cultural barriers are breaking down....somewhat.  Natalie Marx, a young Jewish girl, finds out that her mother has inquired about a rental at a resort in Vermont, but is turned down because they are Jewish. Natalie starts a campaign to get into this place and do justice.  What ensues is somewhat surprising and results in a delightful, romantic story, with some tragic turns.  I really enjoyed reading this short and sassy book!
