About this audiobook
The first novel in Jan Karon’s bestselling and beloved Mitford series--now available in a new 20th Anniversary Edition, including an introductory letter by the author
It's easy to feel at home in Mitford, North Carolina. In these high, green hills, the air is pure, the village is charming, and the people are friendly. Yet, Father Tim, the bachelor rector, wants something more. Enter a dog the size of a sofa who moves in and won't go away. Add an attractive neighbor who begins wearing a path through the hedge. Now, stir in a lovable but unloved boy, a mystifying jewel theft, and a secret that's sixty years old. Suddenly, Father Tim gets more than he bargained for. And readers get a rich comedy about ordinary people and their ordinary lives.

It's a slow read... starts cold...then turns up to low heat...medium...and stays simmering. Pretty soon it'll make your heart as tender as a macaroni noodle! No sauce needed, just a bit of fresh herbs and healing olive oil. Although it might seem like it's not much of a meal, when your finished you feel quite satisfied and content.
