Maine Characters by Hannah Orenstein for Not Your Bubee’s Book Club at The Boston Synagogue
With a rich cast of supporting characters, Maine Characters by Hannah Orenstein transports readers to summer-time Maine — loons, blueberries, and summer storms included. A perfect read for fans of Carly Fortune’s Meet Me at the Lake, Orenstein’s novel is a timeless and heartwarming novel infused with honesty, love, and complicated discoveries about sisterhood, selfhood, and what home really means.

Join us for a meaningful discussion to explore the leading characters, born only six months apart, Vivian and Lucy have the same father but have never met. While both spent a month at the lake each summer with their father as kids, their paths never crossed, and they were only vaguely aware of each other — until tragedy strikes, and the two women are forced to confront each other and some painful truths.
Don’t miss out on the chance to share your thoughts and connect with fellow book lovers.
