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. no reviews | add a review
