Book Reviews of In This Mountain (The Mitford Years, Book 7)
Book Review: Karon's Brilliance
Summary: 4 Stars
It is hard not to fall in love with Father Tim and all the colorful characters in Mitford, North Carolina. The seventh in the Mitford series, "In This Mountain" is Jan Karon at her best. Her gift for weaving details into her stories that later blossom into poignant and powerful life lessons is unparalleled.
As a woman, my favorite character in this series is dear Cynthia Kavanaugh. She is a wonderfully human mixture of weaknesses, strengths, and believability. "In This Mountain" recounts, from Father Tim's perspective, her gentle and enduring faith in the midst of a dark and relentless crisis in her husband's life. Oh! To be a wife like Cynthia Kavanaugh! In spite of its status as fiction, "In This Mountain" holds many valuable Truths.
If you are a Mitford fan, you won't be disappointed in this tale! Karon is, as always, brilliant.
Summary of In This Mountain (The Mitford Years, Book 7)
Moving. Soul searching. Timely.In This Mountain is Jan Karon's newest and best.
Father Tim and Cynthia have been at home in Mitford for three years since returning from Whitecap Island.
In the little town that's home-away-from-home to millions of readers, life hums along as usual. Dooley looks toward his career as a vet; Joe Ivey and Fancy Skinner fight a haircut price war that takes no prisoners; and Percey steps out on a limb with a risky new menu item at the Main Street Grill.
Though Father Tim dislikes change, he dislikes retirement even more. As he and Cynthia gear up for a year-long ministry across the state line, a series of events send shock waves through his faith - and the whole town of Mitford.
In her seventh novel in the bestselling Mitford Years series, Jan Karon delivers surprises of every kind, including the return of the man in the attic and an ending that no one in Mitford will ever forget.
From the Hardcover edition.
Father Tim Kavanagh and his wife, Cynthia, return from Whitecap Island to "the little town with the big heart" in Jan Karon's seventh novel in the bestselling Mitford series, In This Mountain. Retirement holds challenges Father Tim hasn't anticipated, and even as Cynthia's career as a children's book author and illustrator brings her new accolades, he finds himself dogged by health troubles and dissatisfaction with the way his life is turning out. However, the beloved villagers of Mitford are on hand to offer support and humor through every crisis, and a few new characters are introduced to keep interest in the series fresh. Throughout the tale, Karon folds in themes of grace and forgiveness, and offers hope for even the most difficult situations. Fans will be delighted to find that this installment of the series is full of the engaging descriptions and charming depiction of life in Mitford that first won Karon the loyalty of legions of readers. --Cindy Crosby
