This is really a review of the entire Mitford series which I have re-read too many times to count. Review #4 Audio At Home in Mitford narrated by John McDonough The story was engaging, and I particularly liked Karon’s humor. The middle-aged romance was a nice touch, and handled respectfully. By the last third of the book I was zigzagging around, trying to remember some of the lesser characters that kept popping up. The characters are well drawn, although I think that there are too many of them. Some people may be turned off by the beliefs of many of the characters, but at this point I’ll take tolerant, practicing Christians over most stories on the nightly news. There’s sweetness and wholesomness to it that fits perfectly with the holidays. We’ve been reading a lot of heavy stuff lately, and no one wanted to drag corruption and war and other chaos into our Christmas season, so At Home in Mitford it was. I’m only thirteen years late reviewing this one, but I’d never picked it up until my book club chose it for our December meeting.
