Staff Reviews
For over 30 years my husband has witnessed my reading habits with little
comment. When I first read this little gem he observed"you finish one
book, put it down, pick up and start another, and never say a word...but
you have giggled through that whole book."
It is not smart or sophisticated or even very witty - it just makes you
chuckle! This is the first title in a much loved series we all thought
was finished. Good news - a new "Mitford Years" title Somewhere Safe
with Somebody Good arrives September 2nd. For those never exposed to
the to the gentle folk of Mitford and Father Tim - you're in for a
treat!
Description
The first novel in #1 New York Times bestselling author Jan Karon’s beloved series set in America’s favorite small town: Mitford.
It's easy to feel at home in Mitford. In these high, green hills, the air is pure, the village is charming, and the people are generally lovable. Yet, Father Tim, the bachelor rector, wants something more. Enter a dog the size of a sofa who moves in and won't go away. Add an attractive neighbor who begins wearing a path through the hedge. Now, stir in a lovable but unloved boy, a mystifying jewel theft, and a secret that's sixty years old. Suddenly, Father Tim gets more than he bargained for. And readers get a rich comedy about ordinary people and their ordinary lives.
