Home to Holly Springs (Father Tim, Book 1)

Editorial Review

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.

• More Pleasure
  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.
• Causes Wrinkles
  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.
• Much too long. Could have been said in half the number of pages
  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.
