The Mitford Series of Jan Karon is one set of books that I read over and over, about once a year. I love the characters, the small town and the basic humanity of the stories. ( )

Another one of Jan Karon's wonderful books. The stories around the people of Mitford, a wonderful but sadly fictious town and Father Timothy are so engaging. As a reader you can't help but want to be part of it. I have enjoyed everyone of her books so far and it is no different with this 7th installment of the Mitford Series. (Beate) ( )

I never tire reading about Mitford, even though the kids are growing up and Father Tim is aging, the people and small town events are just as engaging as the first book. ( )

A Mitford book is a palate cleanser in my steady diet of crime, murder and unsavory characters. In this installment, Father Tim has a bit of a crisis of faith as he struggles to find his path in retirement and deals with the consequences of some of his actions. Mitford fans won't be disappointed. ( )

It is hard not to fall in love with Father Tim and all the colorful characters in Mitford, North Carolina. The seventh in the Mitford series, "In This Mountain" is Jan Karon at her best. Her gift for weaving details into her stories that later blossom into poignant and powerful life lessons is unparalleled.

As a woman, my favorite character in this series is dear Cynthia Kavanaugh. She is a wonderfully human mixture of weaknesses, strengths, and believability. "In This Mountain" recounts, from Father Tim's perspective, her gentle and enduring faith in the midst of a dark and relentless crisis in her husband's life. Oh! To be a wife like Cynthia Kavanaugh! In spite of its status as fiction, "In This Mountain" holds many valuable Truths.

If you are a Mitford fan, you won't be disappointed in this tale! Karon is, as always, brilliant. ( )

Book description

Amazon.com (ISBN 0142002585, Paperback)

Father Tim Kavanagh and his wife, Cynthia, return from Whitecap Island to "the little town with the big heart" in Jan Karon's seventh novel in the bestselling Mitford series, In This Mountain. Retirement holds challenges Father Tim hasn't anticipated, and even as Cynthia's career as a children's book author and illustrator brings her new accolades, he finds himself dogged by health troubles and dissatisfaction with the way his life is turning out. However, the beloved villagers of Mitford are on hand to offer support and humor through every crisis, and a few new characters are introduced to keep interest in the series fresh. Throughout the tale, Karon folds in themes of grace and forgiveness, and offers hope for even the most difficult situations. Fans will be delighted to find that this installment of the series is full of the engaging descriptions and charming depiction of life in Mitford that first won Karon the loyalty of legions of readers. --Cindy Crosby
