Can I move to Mitford??

bylkvanvoorhis May 27, 2001
98 Helpfuls 99 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Lyrical and heartwarming
Cons Lots of characters - I got them mixed up
Recommended it? Yes

This New York Times bestselling book by Jan Karon turned out to the the first of a very popular series - maybe even a phenomenon. I received this book and the next two in the series as a Christmas gift. I had heard of the series, but never bothered to purchase them since I already had 50+ books... Read full review »

Pros Wonderful and uplifting
Cons Leaves you waiting for the next one
Recommended it? Yes

When I bought this book I wasn't really sure about reading it. But once I started I couldn't put it down.

I wanted to move to Mitford and live among those wonderful people. This small town called Mitford has some very delightful characters. Father Tim is the perfect priest, he takes care... Read full review »

At Home In Mitford; Gimme A Map, I'm Ready To Move!

bykrissingene Jan 14, 2005
63 Helpfuls 64 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Likable characters; many intertwined stories; quick, easy read; more volumes to follow.
Cons Somewhat underdeveloped characters; no singular plot; somewhat sappy in places.
Recommended it? Yes

It's always been quite obvious that I inherited my bookworm-ishness from my father. My mom can't seem to read more than a few pages without falling asleep - as a child, I remember her often falling asleep while reading my bedtime story, leaving me to finish it on my own. Dad, though, is forever in... Read full review »

At Home in Mitford

62 Helpfuls 63 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros gentle story
Cons some might find it too gentle
Recommended it? Yes

Several years ago I worked in a Barnes and Noble store. I bought a lot of books while I worked there, so many that I'll probably be reading them for the next forty years. One of the things that I tended to bring home were books that were popular enough to be on the New York Times bestseller list,... Read full review »

Itchy in Mitford

byPenguinlady Sep 18, 2003
42 Helpfuls 43 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Amusing characters, depiction of a small town
Cons Totally romanticized, no character growth or change, essentially plotless
Recommended it? No

I'd heard and read so much about Jan Karon's At Home in Mitford, the first of a series, that I had to read it. Or had to try, at least.

It took me months. I'm all for "life in a small town" narratives; small towns can provide the fodder for quirky and interesting plots and... Read full review »

Painting A Picture of Mitford

bykeithpruitt Apr 1, 2001
31 Helpfuls 32 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Easy reading and delightful story.
Cons Writing is not classic, but is certainly better than most.
Recommended it? Yes

Often when giving advice to aspiring writers in regards to the art of writing character and location, I am prone to give the advice to "paint me a picture. Let me see what is in your imagination." Such is the artistic endeavor of Jan Karon in her excellent presentation of life in Mitford in the... Read full review »

Almost too sweet, but not quite

bytomgray Nov 23, 1999
20 Helpfuls 21 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Good-natured, often humorous, easy reading.
Cons Comes close to being sappy now and then.
Recommended it? Yes

Jan Karon's At Home in Mitford offers a great change of pace from the fairly pessimistic SF fare I've been reading lately. A novel that promises to be the first of several set in the small town of Mitford, North Carolina, it's about as totally different as possible--a simply-written sketchbook of... Read full review »

Father Tim: Mitford's James Herriot

bybilbopooh May 29, 2001
18 Helpfuls 19 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros charming and cozy, filled with warmth and humor
Cons It doesn't exist!
Recommended it? Yes

Even though this series takes place in a southern American town and the James Herriot series takes place in England, even though Herriot is a vet and Father Tim is an Episcopalian priest, even though Herriot's books are autobiographical and the Mitford books are not, I felt like I was stepping into...

At Home in Mitford: The Mitford Series

It's easy to feel at home in Mitford. In these high, green hills, the air is pure, the village is charming, and the people are generally lovable. Yet, Father Tim, the bachelor rector, wants something more. Enter a dog the size of a sofa sho moves in and won't go away. Add an attractive neighbor who begins wearing a path through the hedge. Now, stir in a lovable but unloved boy, a mystifying jewel theft, and a secret that's sixty years old. Suddenly, father Tim gets more than he bargained for. And readers get a rich, provincial comedy in which mysteries and miracles abound.
