"this entire series is a just a delight. It is a book for when you need to laugh and relax. The characters are all lovable and I just want to "be there". It has it sappy parts but they are forgivable. It is one of the few books I read and then again on CD while traveling. It is the best warm fuzzy of a book there is." — Janet (5 out of 5 stars)

" A pleasant return to Mitford and the people who live there with all their character and foibles. "
" I love this Series. I love all the Characters. I think about the people a lot. "
" Even though I still find Cynthia annoying, maybe I can get used to her. Good character development, increasingly sad but realistic problems mixed with happy times (which is a lot like real life). Lots of good laughs, too. "
" Reading this now, it's great. Best to read them in order, if you need that, let me know!!! "
" This series of books is good comfort "food". There is action, but no violence or explicit sex. I like the characters and the way they develop in the story. "
" These are the most wonderful books I have ever read. Worth reading twice. "
" One of my favorite series. "
" Simple and sweet and easy and relaxing. Like a warm bath. "
" If you need a feel-good book, pick up one from this series! They never disappoint. "
" oh truly incredible the best so far. "
" Grandmother In-Law recommended this series, not my cup of tea, but eh... they're a fast read. "
" This one went beyond just being a good story. It challenged me spiritually. "
" Another cool, refreshing drink of water from Jan Karon. Not quite as emotionally engaging as the second book, but still delightful. The Mitford books read like a third-person journal. "
" More of the same good comfort food for the eyes. "
" Giving all MItford books a 5* from now on. Read them all at least 4 times. Guess I kinda like 'em! "
" I think the best aspect of these books is the depiction of Mitford. Karon really gives a feel of small town life. I was interested to see where the marriage led, but I stopped reading this series here. "
" This was another great book in the Mitford Series. I love the easy reading, positiveness and down to earthness of these books. "
" This set of books is so relaxing and exciting at the same time that you don't want to put them down while you are reading them! They are Great!!! "
" The Mitford Series, Book #3. Jan Karon does it again! A happy, comfortable book and characters you will love spending time with. "
" yes third one in this series....fun too! "
" Loved it! Can't wait to start the next book in the series! "
" Second or third time I have read this book. Love the series. "
" I have now read three of the mitford series. They have been a fun read. I must admit they are not the heavy intense stuff others are reading.It's nice though to take a break and just do some light reading. "
" Part of the Mitford Series. This one reminds us that learning to wait is something that we all need and that we should appreciate the blessings that are in our everyday life. "There are two things to aim at in life: First, to get what you want and, after that enjoy it." "
" Father Tim & his life in a small town. "
" I remember reading just one Midford series book and finding it quite pleasing. I think this was the time when Deanna Hughes made the amazing layered cake they serve in the book! I was amazed!! :) "
" Why haven't I been reading her before now.... "
" Lovely, engaging and inspirational. I forgive Cynthia for the irritation she caused me in *A Light in the Window* as she proves herself to be a highly suitable mate for Father Tim. I'm glad that I read the last several chapters while my son was napping, as I cried all the way through them. "
" I didn't enjoy this book as well as the first two in the series, but it was still an enjoyable read. "
" My only problem is we missed the wedding. That's not fair. I was looking forward to it. "
" I really enjoyed this one. It is about the evolving romance of Father Tim & Cynthia, the children's authorette. You know how I like romance. "
" The Mitford series can be better followed and understood if read in order. I recommend these books to women who enjoy light, Christian novels. "
" I laughed out loud in an empty house while reading this book in the Mitford series! She can't write them fast enough to suit me! "
" I find these books sweet and a nice switch from something more intensive. "
" Nice, easy read. Not too exciting though. "
" I read this series in between the Harry Potter books. It's a nice change up. I recommend them for some good, light reading. Clean books with small town stories. "
" Still enjoying and loving this series! "
" Third book in the series. I'm finished. A little bit too predictable for me. Small town stories only go so far.still, its been nice to be in such a safe zone. "
