My Beloved

A Mitford Novel, Book 15

De: Jan Karon

Narrado por: Ryan Lee Dunlap

#1 New York Times bestselling author Jan Karon gives her beloved fans what they want for Christmas: a new Mitford novel.

When Father Tim’s wife, Cynthia, asks what he wants for Christmas, he pens the answer in a love letter that bares his most private feelings. Then the letter goes missing and circulates among his astonished neighbors. So much for private.

Can a letter change a life? Ask Helene, the piano teacher who has avoided her feelings for a lifetime. Ask Hope, the village bookseller who desperately needs something that’s impossibly out of reach. Or, if you’d like to know how a brush with death can be the portal to a happy marriage, Cynthia will tell you all about it.

In My Beloved, Harley gets an important letter of his own; a broken heart teaches the Old Mayor, Esther Cunningham, a lesson long in coming; and thanks to Lace and Dooley, listeners get what they’ve been waiting for: Sadie.

Poignant, hilarious, and life-affirming, My Beloved sets a generous table for millions of listeners who love these characters like family. With Karon’s signature humanity shining throughout, this is a season of life in Mitford you won’t want to miss.

HUMANITY 🙏❤️

I love Jan’s portrayal of the emotions and drive behind the simplest behaviors…she KNOWS people!❤️and the gentle humor is so refreshing in a hardened jaded world 🙏

The Narrator.....

I am very disappointed that John McD is not the narrator .... without John, the audiobook lacks fizz!

Mitford never fails!

Jan Karon has not lost any of her magic. She loves her characters and through them shows us how to love the people who our in our daily lives. 10/10!

What a gift!

Thank you, Jan Karon for another lovely Mitford book! It is such a gift to spend time with some of our favorite Mitford characters after all these years! I loved it!

I love Jan Karon! I’ve been waiting for this book. She is wonderful!

The former narrator passed away. We cannot have him narrate the new books. However, I would like to have had an older Voice doing the voices for father Tim, especially. The narrator is not good at women’s voices… However, the book is stunning and it has answered so many questions. Of course we can make up endings for ourselves, but it is so much better when Miss Jan fill in these wonderful characters lives for us. I am so blessed to have one more of her books to listen to, and to read, and I hope for another one someday! However, I really do recommend a different narrator.

Fabulous!

It was so good to catch up with my old friends from Mitford! Jan has done it again. I loved how she recaps the past and brought it into the present. I appreciate her talents and time she so graciously shares with her readers!

Narrator distracting

Narration pulls focus from the story’s heartfelt charm, making it challenging to fully immerse in the Mitford world and connect with its beloved characters. The voice of Father Tim is especially not great. Love the series though and always excited for a new one! May have to switch to reading the book.

Wow, just wow!

I loved everything about this book. I hope she writes more Mitford stories. I absolutely loved every book!

The characters

I loved the book. The story and people are so real. Please continue the series I can't wait.

What a joy to revisit my old friends from Mitford

I love that the microcosm that Jan created years ago remains and has matured. I love every single word of My Belovec!
