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 who 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 60 years old.

Barry Laverty, M.B., can barely find the village of Ballybucklebo on a map when he first sets out to seek gainful employment there, but already he knows that there is nowhere he would rather live than in the emerald hills and dales of Northern Ireland. The proud owner of a spanking-new medical degree and little else in the way of worldly possessions, Barry jumps at the chance to secure a position as an assistant in a small rural practice. At least until he meets Dr. Fingal Flahertie O'Reilly.

Love, after all, wasn’t holding together her crumbling marriage. Everything about New Yorker Joy seemed ill-matched for an Oxford professor and the beloved writer of The Chronicles of Narnia, yet their minds bonded over their letters.

Of all of John Irving's books, this is the one that lends itself best to audio. In print, Owen Meany's dialogue is set in capital letters; for this production, Irving himself selected Joe Barrett to deliver Meany's difficult voice as intended. In the summer of 1953, two 11-year-old boys – best friends – are playing in a Little League baseball game in Gravesend, New Hampshire. One of the boys hits a foul ball that kills the other boy's mother. The boy who hits the ball doesn't believe in accidents; Owen Meany believes he is God's instrument. What happens to Owen after that 1953 foul ball is extraordinary and terrifying.

One night upon closing, he discovers a toddler in his children’s section with a note from her mother pinned to her Elmo doll: I want Maya to grow up in a place with books and among people who care about such kinds of things.

As the book begins deep in Oklahoma early one morning in 1976, nine men from Ruby (pop. 360), in defense of "the one all-black town worth the pain", assault the nearby Convent and the women in it. From the town's ancestral origins in 1890 to the fateful day of the assault, Paradise tells the story of a people ever mindful of the relationship between their spectacular history and a void.

In 1920, in small-town America, the ubiquitous dry goods store was usually owned by Jews and often referred to as "the Jew store". That's how Stella Suberman's father's store, Bronson's Low-Priced Store, in Concordia, Tennessee, was known locally. The Bronsons were the first Jews to ever live in that tiny town of one main street, one bank, one drugstore, one picture show, one feed and seed, one hardware, one barber shop, one beauty parlor, one blacksmith, and many Christian churches.

Fannie Flagg gives us a story of richly human characters, the saving graces of the once-maligned middle classes and small-town life, and the daily contest between laughter and tears.

Like Anne, Emily Starr is a quick-witted and imaginative orphan who is sent to live with her two maiden aunts at New Moon Farm after her father dies. Though initially disheartened by her strict and conventional Aunt Elizabeth, Emily slowly grows to love her new family and New Moon Farm. There she makes friends with Ilse Burnley, a tomboy with a blazing temper; quiet, artistic Teddy Kent; and Perry Miller, the hired boy, who Aunt Elizabeth looks down upon because he was born in the impoverished “Stovepipe Town”.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 632
In the South, you always say “yes, ma’am” and “no, ma’am.” You know everybody’s business. Football is a lifestyle, not a pastime. Food — especially dessert — is almost a religious experience. And you protect your friends as fiercely as you protect your family — even if the threat is something you cannot see.

Touching and Laugh Out Loud Delightful
The narrator does a marvelous job telling a story that touches your heart and your funny bone. Jan Karon beautifully shares what it’s like to live life’s adventures as a person of faith in Christ.

At Home in Mitford
I absolutely love this entire series of books. I have read them all at least three times and now that I have them all on audiobook, I have listened to them twice. I got involved in every one's lives and truly liked almost every character in the book. After a couple of books, you know them all like you know your next door neightbor. I cried when characters died, and still laugh like crazy at Uncle Billy's jokes. The stories that take Father Tim and Cynthia to new places are great, because you get to meet new people and new experiences thru the Kavanaughs. I find it a great read and will continue to listen to the books. The narrator adds to the story and can bring a different take on each character, especially Dooley. I start every year so that I get to the Christmas series at Christmas Time. Can we talk Jan Karon on another one???

A Must Read Series
I love all of Jan Karon's books in this series. I have read all of then at least 3 times and listened to them on audio once or twice. Heaven will be just like Mitford- with out the pain of course. Perfection

Great series!
I love the Mitford Series! My aunt recommended these books to me and I didn't think the series was for me. I decided to buy the first book from audible just to give it a try since she kept asking if I'd read the books. Soon I found myself invested in the little town of Mitford and it's inhabitants.The narrator does a fantastic job and I love all the stories of small town life. Some will make you sad, while others are hilarious. He makes each character come alive and I found myself literally laughing out loud in some cases. I've now gone through the first 3 books in the series and would be into the 4th, but only an abridged version is available here. Boo! I hope there will be unabridged versions of all the books soon! I love listening to them as I go about my day :) A very uplifting series!

Absolutely Charming
I read this series years ago and recently bought the audio version for a long car trip. The narrator is perfection! His voice and delivery perfectly suit the gentle humor if the story and shows a real understanding of the charm of the quirky characters.
