Editorial Review: Product Description: Readers of the nine bestselling Mitford novels have been captivated by Jan Karon’s “gift for illuminating the struggles that creep into everyday lives—along with a vividly imagined world” (People). Millions have relished the story of the bookish and big-hearted Episcopal priest and the fullness of his seemingly ordinary life. Now, in the first novels of a new series, Jan Karon enchants us with the story of the newly retired priest’s spur-of-the-moment adventure. For the first time in decades, Father Tim returns to his birthplace, Holly Springs, Mississippi, in response to a mysterious, unsigned note saying simply: “Come home.” A story of long-buried secrets, forgiveness, and the wonder of discovering new people, places, and depth of feeling, Home to Holly Springs will enthrall new readers and longtime fans alike.

Rating: - Causes WrinklesMitford series made me smile while I read and when I put them down. This book made me frown. I think I have a new wrinkle because of it. Rating: - Much too long. Could have been said in half the number of pagesVery disappointed in this book. I have been a Karon fan since her first book and think this is the first time I almost didn't finish the book.

Rating: - BookBook arrived within 3 days of my order. Am giving it as a gift, so haven't read it. Rating: - DisappointingI loved the first four Mitford series books. However, I have to believe that this book is written by a different author. The writing style is amateur and difficult to follow. I found this book to be extremely aggravating. I was constantly trying to figure out who was speaking in the dialog and who was who. For example, there are TWO Peggys. Couldn't the author have simplified things by creating a different name? Flashbacks are poorly delineated leaving the reader to sort out orientation ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
