What is the main setting in the novel, Orphan Train?

The main setting, Spruce Harbor, Maine, in the year 2011, serves as the physical context in which its action plays out. The larger environment is frequently described as beautiful and peaceful, while Vivian's large mansion is depicted as stately and well-maintained. Both aspects of setting serve as vivid contrasts to the rundown home Molly shares with her foster parents, Dina and Ralph. It could be argued, in fact, that the beauty and expanse of Vivian's home is representative of the more expansive, open life Molly moves into over the course of the narrative.
