Publisher Description

The first novel in Jan Karon’s bestselling and beloved Mitford series



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.

"This is my second time through this series. The first time I was charmed by the characters and I still am. Its not great literature but you really can get involved with the plot. At the end of each book I find myself wishing that I could spend some time in Mitford. "

— David (4 out of 5 stars)
