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.

Austen wrote, 'I am going to take a heroine whom no-one but myself will much like' and thus introduces the handsome, clever, rich - and flawed, Emma Woodhouse. Emma is perfectly content with her life and sees no need for either love or marriage; nothing however delights her more than matchmaking her fellow residents of Highbury. But when she ignores the warnings of her good friend Mr. Knightley and attempts to arrange a suitable match for her protegee Harriet Smith, her carefully laid plans soon unravel and have consequences that she never expected.

The scene of this entertaining story is laid in a charming English village. The plot centres round Miss Barbara Buncle, a maiden lady who was obliged to write a book because – as she naively explained – her dividends were so poor. Unfortunately, Miss Buncle had no imagination, so she wrote about her friends – quite kindly and truthfully, of course, for she was a benevolent and veracious soul.

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.

I listened to the entire book while gardening in the early North Carolina spring.
I listened to the entire book while gardening in the early North Carolina spring. Being a transplant to Western NC and listening to this story on one of the most beautiful days, lifted my heart and reinforced my decision to move here. This series is everything good about North Carolina, and this story in particular was a great reminder of how wonderful my own marriage and family are to me. You can't help but reflect, with gladness, on the blessings in your own life, after listening to this book. I stopped during several parts of this book to take in the beauty around me as the book was describing the beauty and serenity of its own story.
I've become a fan of Jan Karon and the Mitford series books.
On the narrator, although the change from male to female voice was difficult at first, I slowing forgot the change, and I was very happy to hear such beautiful singing!

A wonderfull wedding story
I don’t understand how you could be disappointed with this book. It fills in all the gaps that were not there in the previous books. Therefore, you get to feel and understand how everyone in the story felt about their love story. I think it’s wonderful and I totally loved it. Dana Ivy did a great job too.

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.

Finally, a wedding!
A Common Life is Mitford in miniature with many of the most loved characters making an appearance in this delightful novel. Short and sweet without any side stories to detract from the main event, I smiled too often to count.
While Dana’s narration was proficient, I missed John McDonough’s voices and inflections.
