A Common Life

Laughter and wedding bells ring as Jan Karon takes her millions of fans back in time to the most cherished event in Mitford!

Mitford's Lord's Chapel seats barely two hundred souls, yet millions of Jan Karon's fans will be there for the most joyful event in years: the wedding of Father Tim Kavanagh and Cynthia Coppersmith. Here at last is A Common Life, and the long-awaited answers to these deeply probing questions: Will Father Tim fall apart when he takes his vows? Will Cynthia make it to the church on time? Who'll arrange the flowers and bake the wedding cake? And will Uncle Billy's prayers for a great joke be answered in time for the reception?

All the beloved Mitford characters will be there: Dooley Barlowe, Miss Sadie and Louella, Emma Newland, the mayor; in short, everybody who's anybody in the little town with the big heart.

A Common Life is the perfect gift for Mother's Day, Father's Day, anniversaries, and for a bride or groom to give to his or her beloved. In truth, it's perfect for anyone who believes in laughter, relies on hope, and celebrates love.

Loved ALL Jan Karon books

Loved ALL Jan Karon books - they always leave you feeling good, peaceful, especially this one.

Beautifully narrated, so glad I didn't miss it!

What does Dana Ivey bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Dana Ivey has a lovely voice. I imagine Cynthia.

Any additional comments?

I almost missed out on this one one because I was wanting the voice of Father Tim. So glad kept going. I love all the characters in Mitford and Jan Karon's way of capturing them.

Wonderful! Feel good, insightful, and meaningful.

You won’t be disappointed. Listen to all of Jan Karon’s books and you will be enlightened.

Nice to learn some back stories

I enjoyed that the story in places reflected back on the stories of some of the characters not described in great detail in earlier books. I enjoyed this narrator.

A welcome retreat💜

My mom has been quite unwell for the past few months. A Common Life as well as several other books from the Mitford series have been a solace in the storm.
