review 1: I can unabashedly say that I love Jan Karon's books. When I want a soft place to land, a place for my heart and head to rest and remember life's simple beauties, I go to Mitford. Father Tim is fading a little bit (the baton is clearly passed to Dooley on the final page) but still compelling and relatable, the writing is warm, atmospheric and lyrical without being showy, and the characters are both real and charming. These people and their challenges feel both ordinary and illuminated, and once again, I both want to be there with them in Mitford and feel like I already am.
review 2: Bottom line: I love Jan Karon and I'm thrilled that she brought Father Tim back to Mitford. It's where he belongs and where he is at his best. Though not a crier, I admit there were ... morea couple of spots in this book that had me wiping away a tear or two. Probably not the best book in the series, but a perfect read just before Christmas and while recovering from the flu. Once again, Karon reminds us, through the life of Father Tim, that this life is not about us. I'd add this to any last minute Christmas gift list as a wonderful option. less
