At Home in Mitford (Mitford Years, #1) in The Complete Idiots Guide to the Ultimate Reading List

Mar 12, 2009 Laurel rated it really liked it

All of the Mitford books made me feel good. There is enough complexity to make it interesting, but there is always a positive message.

I was honestly surprised at how many stop/start moments I had when I tried to read this book. My mother loves the series, and it came highly recommended, but there's something about the first few chapters that doesn't pull you in like many of the other series I love.

That said, it is an amazingly sweet, warm first book. I'll be picking up the others when I have a chance, but reading this immediately put me in the mind of any of the James Herriot books. I'm definitely eager to start on the rest. ...more

My mother was on me for years to read this series and I finally read the first few but not all of them. The books tell the story of Father Tim, an Episcopal priest living in a small town. The books are full of quaint and quirky characters and lots of feel good warmth. I liked the books I read but I wasn't so into them that I felt I had to read the whole series-I'd really like to say 3.5 stars. ...more
