This is book 4 of the Mitford Years. I loved this entire series and I'm usually more of a mystery lover. Father Tim is still one of my favorite characters. It is fun and inspiring to get to know him and the townspeople.

For someone that doesn't like Series books, this is an exception to my thoughts. The Mitford series hooked me from book #1 and are just as good with book #4. I try to read other books in between, but find myself feeling too anxious to see what's going to happen next in the town of Mitford. I list them as I read them and will have all of them eventually, through her final chapter released this year. Thanks for taking time to read my review and for checking out my listing!

The fourth novel in the Bestselling Mitford series. These characters are quirky and endearing.
This is the 4th novel in the Mitford series. Father Tim and his wife Cynthia are thinking about retirement. Another delightful story.
The fourth in the series really kept my attention. It was well written and imaginative. It didn't run long and blended in a mature way, all of the characters from the previous book and added some new ones as well. This particular book made me want to visit Mitford and get to know everyone and the quirky ways of this little hamlet.

For readers yewarning for a cozy, neighborly read, the town created by Karon's fine Descriptive style has much to recommend it. This is book four of a five book series.
I have all of them.
I have all of them.
Another chapter in small town life and it's troubles.
I waited until I could read the first four books one after the other, for I wanted to know "what happens next?" Delightful stories of mostly delightful, interesting people.
So fun...
Easy read, great series for relaxation.
This is my second time to read this book. I always enjoy and learn and am blessed by Jan Karon's writing!! The Mitford Series was fantastic!!
As well-written and enjoyable as the previous books in the series. Jan Karon is consistently able to allow us to experience the characters in Mitford going about their daily business like we're looking through a window or listening in on a phone conversation (without feeling voyeuristic!). Simply wonderful.
These characters will become your favorite neighbors
read it years ago but am getting my 90 yr old mother reading them while she goes thru chemotherapy. I loved the series; best series since All Things Bright...
Join Father Tim and his new bride, Cynthia, for more wonderful adventures in Mitford. I read this one in just one night!
the last of the four books, the finale, was an enjoyable quiet calming read.
New condition, copyright 1997. Fourth in the Christian Mitford Series.
4th in the Mitford series.
