At home in Mitford - Jan Karon (Mitford Years #1)

Mitford is one of those villages you dream of retiring to. It’s as pretty as a picture and everyone stops to pass the time of day. But just when the village’s loyal rector, Father Tim, is beginning to think he needs a change, life hots up.

A maverick dog the size of a Buick follows him home and won’t go away. A hostile boy is thrust into his care. And his attractive new neighbor begins to wear a path to his door, stirring feelings he hasn’t felt in years.

Rich with appealing characters, charm and wit, this delightful novel will enchant all, particularly fans of Miss Read and James Herriot.
