A delightful series November 9, 2008
I recently discovered this author & just loved this set. Okay, I admit, I AM a little late coming to the party, but they are wonderful none the less.
I did find the series to be a little typical in one regard... each book is just a bit less of a page-turner than the last. I suppose it could be easy for an author to run out of steam after the second or third book, but even so, these are better than just about anything else in this genre & truly enjoyable from beginning to end!
I can't wait to get to the remaining books in this series. And one advantage I now have, is I do not have to painfully wait for each book to come out. ;)
The Mitford Years, Books 1-3 October 6, 2008
If you enjoy heart-warming stories, you will love all the books by Jan Karon. I have read her 9 Mitford books. They will give you hope that there is good in the world and that you can be a part of it. If you are a baby boomer or a parent of one, you will recognize a lot of things that you grew up with -- mostly how simple things are very dear. I have recommended these books to friends -- especially ones who are having a difficult time -- they will renew your spirit.
Return Home to Mitford! August 31, 2008
This is the hometown that everyone wants to call their own -- family and friends that you grow to love with each reading and rereading. Father Tim is the "rock" in the stories and his faith illustrates my favorite Bible passage: "God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble . . . Be still and know that I am God." from Psalm 46.
Great book! Lived up to expectations! March 24, 2008
I love the Mitford series and was disappointed when I finished the last book. I have been looking forward to this book and it was as expected.
Inspiring read February 17, 2008
I enjoy reading a book where I come away feeling good about life and inspired to live better. Karon deals with real-life problems like children with no caregivers and terminal illness in a positive, uplifting way that's true to life. Father Tim's thought processes are normal responses instead of picture-perfect "priestly" rhetoric. The dialogue of characters like Dooley and Puny is funny and rings delightfully true. The townspeople are so alive I feel I know them and would love to sit and chat.
