I recommend the Mitford series to all.

I discovered Father Tim while seeking refuge in MI during 2005. His optimism and good cheer brighten my day. I have the whole series and often lend them out to friends and family that need sincerity and soul in their life.

I'd rather be in Mitford...

...which is why I went right out and bought "A Common Life: The Wedding Story". It matters little to me the length of the book or the size of the margins. It's a visit to Mitford, renewing acquaintances and visiting old friends. The confusion regarding the subject matter and length is a bit of a puzzle to me. First of all, the subtitle of the book is THE WEDDING STORY - that seems pretty clear, and Jan Karon told us it...
