Representaion Supposing Books A Light in the Window (Mitford Years #2)
While I have no doubt that I am not going to read the whole series, I picked up two when I was at the library and the second dutifully begins where the first leaves off. Someone commented that these are the types of books which little old ladies read when they feel like they can put their collective noses into other people's affairs. If one hasn't read these books, that's a pretty good assessment, which is to say that it is totally incorrect.While Jan Karon has a huge following, no doubt composed in part of little old ladies, these stories are anything but what they appear to be on the outside. While the excitement is of a far more subtle sort, it is extremely human... as well as Christian. Without preaching, it successfully delivers the method of the utmost simplicity, something of which I think our Father would approve. It takes a while to become used to reading these, especially when you are expecting something exciting and dangerous, but what you end up with is that people are real and they solve their issues in very real ways.
These are funny, inviting and joyful books of the Christian faith, and without too much of a stretch, I would probably say that they were inspired also. They are works of grace and beauty also, but that takes a while to see, if you are a complicated person with a complicated life. It makes you wonder why we made our lives so complex in the first place...and what we missed when we did so.

This story builds on the previous one, showing the progress of Father Tim's relationship with his neighbor. Again, this series is character-driven so it is slower paced, but the reader gets to know the town and the townspeople and care about their daily lives. If Mitford, NC weren't fictional, I'd live there. If you're action-driven, this series isn't for you. If you can read just about anything, then I recommend this series (9 books if I'm not mistaken), perhaps between more adventurous books.I just loved this so much and Ive laughed over and over again. What a wonderful town and I love all the people who live here. Jan Karon is a wonderful writer full of surprises. If you want something good then this series is for you. Its light, fun and full of laughs. This was a library loan and all opinions are my own.
Another charming read. It was good to reconnect with the characters in this quaint town. It's a good holiday read because it is not overwhelming, sad or depressing. I would love to visit a town like this if it in fact exists, with knowing each and every person's history, supporting each other and the town parties and festivities that everyone has to play a role in. I like how the characters' stories continue to wind together and new relations are discovered plus the inclusion of one of two
4.5 stars. This may be a Father Tim year. I love these characters so much, and they get better with time. So many laughs and smiles inside this one. This is another reread, and relisten. The audio performances of this series are terrific. The narrator becomes the characters. He changes voices convincingly for each one, and it was a joy to listen. If you've ever wondered what it must be like to be the pastor of a small parish, where people really walk their faith out, and look after each other,
3.5 starsEnjoyable, and while I didn't quite like it as much as first Mitford installment, it was still full of eccentric characters and nice storylines, plus it doesn't raise one's blood pressure.
A wonderful addition to the Mitford series by Ms. Karon. Father Tim is being pulled in all directions, but mostly by his heart and toward his neighbor. All the little eccentricities and intricacies of small town American life are here again, from the grocery store to the local pastry shop. If you ever need a break from the hurried pace of life and the incessant voice telling you to keep going faster and faster, Mitford is a excellent place to visit. It reminds you, if you let yourself be
