Editorial Review: Product Description: A heartwarming portrait of the mysteries and miracles of everyday life in a small town introduces the charming North Carolina town of Mitford and its colorful inhabitants, including Tim, a bachelor rector, who is falling in love with his neighbor. Reprint. Amazon.com Review: Father Tim, a cherished small-town rector, is the steadfast soldier in this beloved slice of life story set in an American village where the grass is still green, the pickets are still white, and the air still smells sweet. The rector's forthright secretary, Emma Garret, worries about her employer, as she sees past his Christian cheerfulness into his aching loneliness. Slowly but surely, the empty places in Father Tim's heart do get filled. First with a gangly stray dog, later with a seemingly stray boy, and finally with the realization that he is stumbling into love with his independent and Christian-wise next-door neighbor. Much more than a gentle love story, this is a homespun tale about a town of endearing characters-- including a mysterious jewel thief--who are as quirky and popular as those of Mayberry, R.F.D. --Gail Hudson Average Rating:
 Rating:  - wonderful, darling peopleall the books in this series, with this one first & the wedding story second are truly funny, warm, deep and christian.i completely forgot that it was all in a book and believed everything and everyone to be really there. i still do. it was also very peaceful book, though not slow. peaceful and pacifying. it's the place in the world i would love to live in and the kind of people i would love to meet. Rating: - Love the Mitford books -- but can be slightly uncomfortable for a CatholicI love Jan Karon's Mitford books -- they're so well-written, so sweet and touching without being cloying, so laugh-out-loud funny at times, so full of sincere religious feeling without being heavy-handed. There's one thing I have to say, though -- as a Catholic, now that I've read most of her Mitford novels, I do feel a bit uncomfortable with the complete absence of Catholicism in Karon's Christian world. Maybe it's the setting in the South, but the fact that there are Christians who are Catholics ...

Rating:  - Just a wee warningI didn't think anyone else would mention this so thought it could be helpful to SOME people but there is some mild bad language in this book. I can understand why people love this kind of book, just everyday life centered around a clergy and his staff. I did find some nice Christian thoughts etc BUT a warning for those of you christians that really like a 100% clean language book. This isn't it sadly. I am not saying its really bad but I stopped reading it as there were too many "oh my ...

Jan Karon writes the way these North Carolina people talk, and the reader can actually "hear" them chattering away. Once you go to Mitford, you can't wait to go back, can't wait for the next book, and the next and the next! There are pages that will make you smile, laugh out loud, make you cry, too, and send you down your own memory lane because ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
