Representaion Toward Books A New Song (Mitford Years #5)
In A New Song, Mitford's longtime Episcopal priest, Father Tim, retires. However, new challenges and adventures await when he agrees to serve as interim minister of a small church on Whitecap Island. He and his wife, Cynthia, soon find that Whitecap has its own unforgettable characters: a church organist with a mysterious past, a lovelorn bachelor placing personal ads, a mother battling paralyzing depression. They also find that Mitford is never far away when circumstances "back home" keep their phone ringing off the hook. In this fifth novel of the beloved series, fans old and new will discover that a trip to Mitford and Whitecap is twice as good for the soul.Mention Containing Books A New Song (Mitford Years #5)

Of all of Jan Karon's canon, I had the fewest memories from my first reading of A New Song nearly two decades ago. So the joy of re-reading was redoubled. Chapter 13, Mighty Waters, is a masterpiece of construction, prose, and humor. Honestly, Jan Karon stands with the best comedy writers. Father Tim goes on a charter boat deep sea fishing. Do read it. You will discover the most elegant sentence ever written about upchucking. (view spoiler)[ He scrambled off the ladder and leaned over the rail,I've been re-reading these slowly but surely the past few months, and it's such a joy to be back in Mitford. It really does feel like home.
Another great installment from the Mitford Series. This series has been my charming, easy summer read. I don't think I'll finish them before summer is over...
I like these books....I suppose the word "mildly" should be in there somewhere, except that would be a little misleading. What I mean is that in some ways these are "mild stories".I was in a "funk" for a while recently. I couldn't find anything book-wise that appealed to me. I was depressed in general and in constant low-grade pain. I had read some of these some years ago (as my wife's health grew worse and worse). Some people think of these as "women's reads" I've said before in other reviews
Fifth in the series. Listened to the audio. Mellowed me out during the busy Christmas season. Father Tim always does.
5 stars and a ❤
