Through Jim Burden's endearing, smitten voice, we revisit the remarkable vicissitudes of immigrant life in the Nebraska heartland, with all its insistent bonds. Guiding the way are some of literature's most beguiling characters: the Russian brothers plagued by memories of a fateful sleigh ride, Antonia's desperately homesick father and self-indulgent mother, and the coy Lena Lingard. Holding the pastoral society's heart, of course, is the bewitching, free-spirited Antonia.

You wish you lived there and knew these people
The Mitford Series books are those I want to read over and over. I'd give each in the series 10 stars if possible. I love them because it's like reading about old friends and 'going home', even if you never had a home like that, you'd want one. The stories are funny, some suspense, mystery and everything else a good book has. You can get lost in them and feel like you are right there in Mitford. And, for some reason, while reading these books, they give you a comforting and peaceful feeling...I just feel good when reading them and after reading them. These people are ones you want to know and hope really exist someplace, somewhere. I'd recommend them to anyone who loves reading about small town life, feeling you know the people you're reading about, and like the comfort you can get when reading a good book. I just LOVE the series.

Any additional comments?
Funny, quirky, and positive. This was my first Mitford book and I really enjoyed the narrator and the light hearted story of a North Carolina town and its aging Episcopal priest. Upbeat and filled with southern charm.

At Home in Mitford
I absolutely love this entire series of books. I have read them all at least three times and now that I have them all on audiobook, I have listened to them twice. I got involved in every one's lives and truly liked almost every character in the book. After a couple of books, you know them all like you know your next door neightbor. I cried when characters died, and still laugh like crazy at Uncle Billy's jokes. The stories that take Father Tim and Cynthia to new places are great, because you get to meet new people and new experiences thru the Kavanaughs. I find it a great read and will continue to listen to the books. The narrator adds to the story and can bring a different take on each character, especially Dooley. I start every year so that I get to the Christmas series at Christmas Time. Can we talk Jan Karon on another one???

"At Home" is "Homey"
It took a little while for me to get sucked into this story. And like the story itself, it took a little getting used to the narrator before I could appreciate him. Maybe it was about half way through, maybe a little less than that when I realized that I love the characters and the setting of this homey, uncomplicated story that tends to resonate with the soul. I also realized what an incredible narrator John McDonough really is. I needed a "feel-good" kind of story, down to earth and easy to follow, just now, and that is what I got. What a surprise that a story about an older man, and a man of the cloth, could be so sweet and, well, inspiring. I don't think this book is for everyone. Some people would find it boring, or would have a hard time engaging in it, but it just hit the spot for me. I am pretty sure I will be reading/listening to more in this series

Rambling, Heartwarming, Joyful and Fun
Move over, Eudora Welty. I love the slow pace and the gentle narrative. It's a great change of pace from my usual fare of fantasy and science fiction. It's warm and funny and eminently enjoyable. I actually appreciate the reader's pauses and find it adds to the experience. One caveat, these novels are not-at-all-disguised proselytizations for the Christian faith, complete with altar calls, so if you're not into that sort of thing you may want to shy off. I just accept those evangelical sales pitches as part of the story (being so in character for Father Tim) that I don't let it bother me. I still enjoy the story so much that I couldn't wait to get subsequent books.

Totally Wholesome
I thought At Home in Mitford was entertaining. It is a little slow in parts but that is to be expected in a story about small town life. The characters are lovable and the story line is interesting. The author manages to tell a story with a little mystery and romance all the while keeping things very innocent. I would recommend this book if you are tired of (or offended by) blood and sex and are looking for some innocent story telling.

A Heart Warming Story
I highly recommend reading/listening to "At Hom in Mitford" by Jan Karon.... It is a heart warming story that makes you feel right at home with all the charaters and they will remind you of people you know in your own towns... Once you get started with Mitford you will have to read/listen to the whole series about Father Tim, the amazing dog, his boy, his neighbor, etc... Enjoy the amazing town and world of Mitford...

Easy, and uplifting listen
These Mitford books are new to me and I have enjoyed this first one, and the narrator, enough to order the 2nd and 3rd volumes.
These are gentle strolls through the life of Mitford and that is right up my street. Lots does happen, with real story lines, but really what I love is the small-town atmosphere.
My only gripe is that there is a low level 'hiss' on the recording especially when at higher volume using earphones outdoors which how I often listen. None of my other Audible books do that, so it is - so far - just these books, and it is irritating.

At Home in Mitford is the best novel I've listened to in years, It made me laugh and it made me cry. It made me think that there are still so many good things in this life when there is so much turmoil in the world. I did not want it to finish. Luckily, there is a whole series to follow! Thank you John McDonough, the perfect narrator for this story.

It's been a long time since I read these books...
...but hearing them again now doesn't disappoint. I wasn't sure about the reader to begin with - thinking he sounded a bit too old - but quickly came round to him. I don't know how you'd classify these books - they're so different from anything else in my library - but so worth a listen.

Relaxing and warm story
I love the pace of this book, it’s like you are there with these people and enjoying living in this pretty town too. The story line is relaxing and pleasant and just so real. This is one audiobook to listen to again and again. I also love how the loving nature of God is woven in throughout and it’s such a comfort in every way. The dog is so funny and sweet and the boy Dooley is so bright and interesting and watching his development warms my heart. The tender feelings between Tim and Cynthia are so nicely written and spoken too.
