In This Mountain

De: Jan Karon

Narrado por: John McDonough

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 Percy 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 sends shock waves through his faith, and the whole town of Mitford.

In her seventh novel in the best-selling 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.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Homespun dialogue, fresh and lively descriptions, laugh-out-loud moments and poignant scenes mark the heartfelt book." (Publishers Weekly)

love the book but audio is disappointing

love the story but the audiobook is missing a chapter!! the same happened when I bought it on Itunes. the quality in parts is sometimes scratchy but overall the story is a favorite!

Quality narration and content. Sound quality fails in last 1/3

Having listened to about 800 Audible offerings, I’ve grown accustomed to the flawless recordings. Something went wrong in this recording. At one point, I heard, “this is the end of disc 12.” 😳 Later, there was a distinct change in the sound quality.

Otherwise, John McDonough and Jan Karon deliver with perfection as always. Sometimes I almost am convinced that John McDonough IS Father Timothy Kavanaugh.

Great reading of a new classic

I've been a long time admirer of Jan Karon's Mitford series. I've read them several times. I am introducing the recorded versions to my husband who is enjoying them as much as I. We thoroughly enjoy the narration of John McDonough, especially when he sings the hymns and uses Father Tim's pulpit voice. These recordings bring a whole new dimension to the stories.

Endearing

These Mitford books ( and this one is no exception ) have made me laugh, cry and offered consolation because Jan Karon’s characters ring so true. In all of her books there are threads of grace and goodness running through the story lines. She never lets us forget our true hero Jesus for He is the lifeblood and motivation for everything Father Tim does.

Jan Karon you have changed my life through your books. Thank you ,
thank you!

Technical problems

There were technical problems with this recording—some parts were garbled, some transitions were spliced way too short. But despite the poor sound editing, it’s a great story told by a talented narrator.

My favorite stories!

I'm not sure if it's a problem with my phone I what, but the chapter line at the top of the screen and the reading of the story never synced up. So when the screen changed chapters, I would miss part of the story. It's a bit frustrating!

a classic to return to again and again

This series has kept me going in 2020. I enjoy the plot, characters. John McDonough, the dialogue between Father Tim and Cynthia. Thank you, Jan Karon. I listen and relisted to each book in the series.

Another wonderful read

Jan Karon is one of my favorite authors, and this book in the series is just precious! Moved my heart.

Medford is wonderful but fix the audio glitches please.

I absolutely love the mitford series. John McDonough as the narrator is my favorite. I have downloaded every book in the series but for some reason this specific recording has some really bad glitches in the playback mid book. whole sentences that you can't hear through white noise.

Every word!

I have read them all, and the wonderful narration of all these books truly enhances the stories that have lovely poignancy - On This Mountain remains my very favorite of the series -
