Jan Karon's Mitford and now, Father Tim books are a balm and a blessing in this madness which is life in the 21st Century. Like previous adventures with aging and increasing wise Father Tim, the plot here unfolds with simple, yet marvelously complicated events and the usual and expected joys, tears and miracles. There's a whole new bunch of odd and oddly real characters as Tim returns to his boyhood and the intricate and byzantine relationships of an extraordinary family. Karon's prose is crushed green velvet, sprinkled with the white chocolate chips of sassy humor, always gently applied with reverence and always, always leavened with love. Mixed metaphors aside, the writing here compares favorably well with such gracious classics of inspirational fiction as the works of Elizabeth Goudge, Grace Hill, and Faith Baldwin, but resonates and reverberates with the contemporary works of Philip Gulley, Clyde Edgerton, Carolyn Chute, Rosamunde Pilcher, and Maeve Binchy. Reading to soothe the soul; and not just for Christians.

I won't go into everything I disliked about the audiobook. Most of it is already stated in the other one and two-star reviews. I just wanted to reiterate how boring this audiobook was. I had trouble staying awake listening to it, something I consider rare. There were a few more interesting parts of the book, but they seemed to come all at once and left the rest to dwell on minutae. The reader did a nice job, although his voice seemed much too young for a 70 year old man. I haven't read the Mitford series, but had planned on reading them eventually. After listening to this audiobook I had started to rethink that idea. I'm glad to read (in other reviews) that the Mitford series is nothing like this book.

This book was great. I have to admit that I had a fear that I'd be disappointed after reading the entire Mitford series but I was not disappointed at all. It was different from the Mitford series but still a pleasure to read. Sure, we didn't have the Mitford regulars in the story, but in a way it was nice. After all, how long can you keep Mitford going? I hated to see this story end and I anxiously await the next book.

[I knew I enjoy Jan Karon's books- the Mitford series so wanted to try this one. I bought it for a gift but read it before mailing it I like it very much & believe the family to whom I sent it will enjoy it also. These books may not be the greatest literature in the world but they're so readable without the dirty language so many authors feel they have to use.

If you enjoyed the Mitford series, you will certainly enjoy this story of Father Tim's growing up years presented alongside the continuing present-day story from the last of the Mitford series. Jan Karon has once again written a delightful, inspiring story that offers humor and wonderful insight.
