Summary: More Pleasure
Comment: How fun to continue the saga of Father Tim. A whole new cast of characters is introduced with slight references to the old familiar ones from Mitford and brief update on Dooley & Lace.

Summary: Causes Wrinkles
Comment: Mitford series made me smile while I read and when I put them down. This book made me frown. I think I have a new wrinkle because of it.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Much too long. Could have been said in half the number of pages
Comment: Very disappointed in this book. I have been a Karon fan since her first book and think this is the first time I
almost didn't finish the book. The last part was ok but much too much dialogue that was not interesting enough
to hold my interest for very long. I think it is time to go back to Mitford where the people are interesting and
sometimes funny but seem true to life. Guess I will have to end my review by saying 'BORING' for the most
part.

Summary: Disappointing
Comment: I loved the first four Mitford series books. However, I have to believe that this book is written by a different author. The writing style is amateur and difficult to follow. I found this book to be extremely aggravating. I was constantly trying to figure out who was speaking in the dialog and who was who. For example, there are TWO Peggys. Couldn't the author have simplified things by creating a different name? Flashbacks are poorly delineated leaving the reader to sort out orientation in time. Finally, the constant attempt at writing dialog in a dialect is tiring and poorly executed. I was so irritated by the book, that I was compelled to write this review; and I never take the time to write a review. I'd be very surprised if this is truly Jan Karon's work. Usually her writing is clear and inviting. This one missed by a long shot.

Editorial Reviews:
|
Readers of the nine bestselling Mitford novels have been captivated by Jan Karon’s “gift for illuminating the struggles that creep into everyday lives—along with a vividly imagined world” (People). Millions have relished the story of the bookish and big-hearted Episcopal priest and the fullness of his seemingly ordinary life. Now, in the first novels of a new series, Jan Karon enchants us with the story of the newly retired priest’s spur-of-the-moment adventure. For the first time in decades, Father Tim returns to his birthplace, Holly Springs, Mississippi, in response to a mysterious, unsigned note saying simply: “Come home.” A story of long-buried secrets, forgiveness, and the wonder of discovering new people, places, and depth of feeling, Home to Holly Springs will enthrall new readers and longtime fans alike.
