In This Mountain

By: Jan Karon

Narrated by: John McDonough

Moving. Soul searching. Timely.
In This Mountain is Jan Karon's newest and best.

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 Percey 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 send shock waves through his faith - and the whole town of Mitford.

In her seventh novel in the bestselling 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.©2002 Jan Karon; (P)2002 Penguin Audiobooks

Critic reviews

Praise for the Mitford Novels

“Karon knits Mitford's small-town characters and multiple story lines into a cozy sweater of a book.”—USA Today

“Jan Karon reflects contemporary culture more fully than almost any other living novelist.”—Los Angeles Times

“Welcome home, Mitford fans...to Karon's gift for illuminating the struggles that creep into everyday lives—along with a vividly imagined world.”—People

“Karon offers her readers another chance to escape their own world, if just for a while, and live in the town that ‘takes care of its own.’ Her readers say they wish Mitford existed so they could move there.”—Richmond Times-Dispatch

Delightful Escape

Enjoyed so much I hate to come to the end. Glad there's another in series.

Truth

John's great narration. Uplifting stories about a lovely little country town and Father Tim's friends

God keeps working in Mitford

I like that Father Tim's life is complex with both difficulties and joys. Familiar characters come and go, and get deeper, and the plot thickens!

Great story, great narrator!!

I love the narrator. He does such a great job. He really makes Father Timothy come alive. I wish he had narrated all the Mitford books

Random background music annoying

Great story. Someone decided to randomly add background music at different times that does not even fit the story. So annoying!
