Please don't stop this woderful series! May 30, 1999

I didn't think it was possible however, the second installment of the Mitford Series was just as warm, wonderful and cozy as the first! At last, it is such a pleasure to read a series of books dedicated to mature love with decency and something left to one's imagaination. I cannot thank Ms. Karon enough for bravely showing the timeliness and gentleness of what the gift of patience brings to those whose choose to wait on God and to wait for the other person to learn about themselves so that they may into share that knowledge in learning to love someone to include them in their life in marriage!The literary world has been in need of such a refreshing style and gentleness of touch. That you again, Ms. Karon for giving us back love, respect and commitment. God's blessings on this and all your future endeavors!
Totally absorbing -- and uplifting! November 21, 1998

What can I say about the four books in the Mitford series by Jan Karon? They are the greatest fiction I have read in ages. I read one, then another, then the third and fourth, and then went back and read all four a second time. Now for a busy person like me -- that really says something. I was totally absorbed, enthralled, uplifted, taken away gently to a gentler place and time where my most cherished values were brought to life in real people. Mitford was on my reading table for about a year! I hesitate to call this "Christian fiction" because it is not "religious" or "preachy" -- yet it illustrated great Judao-Christian values in slices of real life among a bevy of character any of whom could be a book in him/herself. Just imagine a schitzophrenic lady who directs traffic at the town square in her father's Civil War uniform... who has a husband who loves her with a warm humor and humility -- that's characterization at its best in American literature! Imagine a 60-year-old Episcopalean priest who has never married -- who falls in love! These books have characters, drama, pathos, humor, romance, everything! Buy and read 'em all!
Warm, engrossing stories of everyday life in a small town November 16, 1999

The Mitford books are the most wonderful heart-felt adventures in small town living. The characters are real, their real-life problems and victories speak to all of us, and the feel of goodness and Christian faith stay with you long after the books are finished. Unforgettable! I wish Father Tim were the rector in our parish...
COULDN'T WAIT TO FINISH THE SERIES March 22, 1999

The Mitford years was my first experience with audio books. I have listened to several since and I can honestly say, it is by far the best ever. I rate it a big 10. I have shared it with several friends and they also agree The Mitford series is the best. I'm anxious to find out if the author has a sequel.
Peaceful and funny reading. April 3, 1998

Jan Karon, in all four of her "Mitford" books, shows how life in a small town is peaceful but troublesome, funny but sad, lighthearted but very involved, and requires a lot of friendship and trust. It is wonderful the way she weaves in prayers and trust in God, but doesn't force this issue--it seems to fit in reall well. I found all of her books delightful and a change of pace from many of the other fictional books offered today.
