At Home In Mitford
by Jan Karon
The book I listened to on CD, it was 16 CDs unabridged!
John McDonough reads the story and it is so delightful! You can just imagine this sleepy little town and all its citizens. The voices are different for all the characters and and he makes them all come to life.
In these times a town like Mitford sounds delightful. Father Tim is an Epsicopal priest at the church of Our Lord the Savior. He is involved in every aspect of his parishioners lives and the town. He manages to "adopt" a 12 year old boy because his grandfather can't care for him and his mother is ill. A big black dog adopts him which he grows immensely fond of him. He is privy to many deep dark secrets of those in the town. A wealthy woman contributes money to build a nursing home in town and he is charged with the project. A jewel thief finds his way to town. A drug bust happens. And just lots of love, fun and friendship in this book.
A delightful read if you want to be uplifted and a great holiday read too.
