A review by alilotofbooks
At Home in Mitford by Jan Karon

3.0

Provincial, meandering, and thorough character development. At first I wondered why in the world I would want to read a novel where the protagonist is a 60-year-old North Carolina Episcopal preacher... but you've got to hand it to Karon there, because who else has written about one? The characters are really what suck you into the story. It wasn't gripping, compelling, or fascinating by any means, but a fun and a different read than what I normally go for (it was a book club book). I am going to have to read the next in the series, sometime, just to find out what happens to the characters!
