    A return visit
  

*by K***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 20, 2023*

I read these books some 20 years ago and enjoyed this series immensely.  I donated the books to my church when I left the area.  Kindle.  What a marvel!  I found Mitford waiting where I had left it and slid back into its comfort like a pair of favorite slippers.  This book, so far, is my favorite.  So many answers.  I'm A Virgo and like my ends tucked up neatly.  So satisfying.  Peaceful.  Need I say ' inspirational'.  Well done Jan.

    I've come to love Father Tim
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 13, 2012*

In my opinion, this is Jan Karon's best. I'm not a Christian and advertising a book as a Christian novel would not attract me as a buyer. But Father Tim is such a wonderful character, I've utterly fallen in love with him. So much of the time during my read, I got utterly lost in the story. I was never bored or disconnected.I'm not comparing it to fine literature, such as Ian McEwan's books, or Philip Roth, ect. That would be unfair. The Father Tim books are about relaxing, feeling the love and basking in the sense that, ultimately, it's all right, whatever it is. That's not a fashionable viewpoint these days. Storytelling is rife with happy foreboding, despair, disassociation/affectation, and so on. When I was younger I was up for all that drama, the hardship, the tragedy. But as I've gotten older (early 50's) I have really gotten over the desire for grit and "truth." Really, to paraphrase Shakespeare, what is truth, but what our thinking makes it? Regrettably, any of the major literary writers would risk their good reputations were they to write something as loving, lovely, feeling good, heart-warming, encouraging, soothing and uplifting.Yes, one could belittle Karon's books as sentimental. They ARE sentimental, but in the best possible ways, in that they appeal to-and in my opinion, satisfy-our tender emotions. But they don't descend into mawkishness; that's not Jan Karon's style. That said, not each in the series is as good. With Home to Holly Springs, Jan Karon has, in my opinion, written her best, yet. I've just started to ready In The Company Of Others. I truly hope there are more books forthcoming in the Father Tim series; I'm sure I'm not alone when I say I don't want it to end. So, in case I haven't gotten the point across, I recommend Home to Holly Springs. I recommend the whole series, even though not each book is strong. But Father Tim will become part of the reader's "tribe" on an emotional level and, thus, enrich her or his life. Of that I have no doubt. Enjoy!
