At Home in Mitford

A Novel

De: Jan Karon

Narrado por: John McDonough

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.

Suddenly, Father Tim gets more than he bargained for. And readers get a rich, provincial comedy in which mysteries and miracles abound.

Makes you want to move to Mitford!

Rich and Fulfilling

For those who like books with fast-paced action and a contrived plot, you won't enjoy this one. But for those of us who live for slow summer days with an occasional baseball game or a picnic, this is heaven.

One of the best series out there!

This has got to be one of my all-time favorite series. Ever. I'm on my third or fourth reading of the books and love it even more each time. It's like spending time with old friends. You get to know the characters and the town so well, it's like being part of a big, extended family. And even when things get hard or sad, it's a comforting and cozy place to be. It feels like home. I've introduced multiple other people to the series and, inevitably, they end up loving it as much as I do. It should also be said that the narrator is one of the best there is. I love him and he's perfect for Father Tim. A really inspiring, uplifting, comforting series. I can't recommend it enough. Audible 20 Review Sweepstakes Entry

Wonderful start of a great series!!

John McDonough does his usual excellent job!
Looking forward to the next story!

Makes my heart smile!

I am starting to listen to the series for the second time. The writer and narrator combo is perfection. I love each character! Each book includes giggles and tears. It has been probably 5 years since I first read the series. I enjoy listening for the second time, knowing each person already and I look forward to the stories that I will enjoy again.

Wonderful treasure!

Lovely story, lovable narrator. Our world desperately needs true to life, simple stories of genuine good people. We plan to listen to them all.

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.

excellent rendition

I've read the book a couple of times and wondered if I would enjoy it as much if I listened to someone else read it. well, I certainly did!

Repeat

I have listened to this about 10 years and was content and delighted to do it again. So wonderful with exacting narration.
