Light in the Window is another wonderful read from talented and insightful author Jan Karon. The second book in the Mitford series, this one chronicles Father Tim's courtship with Cynthia. Karon beautifully details the aging bachelor's trials and triumphs in this regard along with his fear of long-term commitment. Cynthia is not always portrayed in the kindest light ... is, in fact, often petulant and sometimes downright fickle, but she does become a far more likable character in subsequent books. Otherwise, you're bound to enjoy the other Mitford characters we've all come to love -- especially Dooley, Miss Sadie, Louella, Puny, Uncle Billy, and Barnabas, and you'll love to hate Edith Mallory as she tries to set her hooks in Tim. Cousin Meg also comes to visit, and there's a weird egg, if ever there was one! There's always a lot going on in Mitford, most of it heartwarming and soul satisfying!Read full review
This is a delightful and humorous series of novels. If you want to read an old series that is pleasant and comforting and uplifting with a big dose of small town nostalgia, this series might be for you.

Each and every book in Jan Karon's Mitford series is a treasure. You can't help but love (or) hate the characters. The story lines are fascinating and you never want to put the book down.

this book has been recommended to me by several friends over the last couple of years. I had always put off reading them because I didn't want to "get into" a new series of books. Well, I took the plunge and now I'm hooked. What a great, smooth read. You hardly want to put it down and you can't wait until the next free moment you have to read to find out what might be happening in the lives of your "new friends". Highly recommended. You won't regret it.
Great series!
