5.0 out of 5 stars New location - new themes - same inspiration, 30 Oct 1999
This review is from: A New Song (Mitford Years) (Hardcover)
A wonderfully inspirational offering. Whenever I read Jan Karon's novels, I want to immerse myself in Faith and The Church (Episcopalian, Church of England, Church in Wales, whatever). This novel was a true delight as were the previous ones, and I didn't want it ever to end. There is no soft option; life can be hard and there is no easy answer. Father Tim has great trust in the Lord and through this trust comes solutions which suffice. But - to enjoy this novel and its predecessors - there is no requirement to be a "believer". They are soothing in themselves - and this is their great magic. Reading Jan Karon's novels soothes your soul, makes you want to be a better person, and this latest novel is no exception. The climate has changed, the small town characters are different (although the residents of Mitford are determinedly never far from our thoughts) but the message is the same - goodness and kindness will prevail - and who ever could want for more.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another excellent story by Karon, 25 Jun 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: A New Song (Mitford Years) (Hardcover)
The Mitford books, and now a Whitecap book, have been a surprising and wonderful stroll through a different layer of life than most people experience -- or at least take note of. A New Song continues a great tradition. Everybody knew from the beginning who took the bronze statue, but it was a very moving chapter when it was resolved, even if one is a little dumbfounded that Fr. Tim didn't figure out who took it. My questions: So is it in bk 6 or 7 that Lace and Dooley make it to the altar? Will Dooley's birth father be there? Will Buck punch him out? Will Morris be the organist? Will Fr. Tim be there, or will he (or Cynthia) have gone home (could we stand the poignancy)? Thanks for the great and fresh spiritual writing, Jan Karon. And thanks even more to my own mother, for sharing this series with me.

5.0 out of 5 stars "A New Song"is another winner for Jan Karon!!, 13 May 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: A New Song (Mitford Years) (Hardcover)
I am a relatively new fan of the "Mitford" series by Jan Karon. I was given the first three books as a birthday gift from a friend. It turned out to be my favorite gift! I love father Tim, Cynthia, Dooley, and all the wonderful characters in these books. "A New Song" is a real treat. I enjoyed meeting all the new characters and I really enjoyed the new setting(at the beach). Please continue the Mitford series for many more books. I am eagerly awaiting the next book.

Another delightful adventure in the Mitford Saga.

5.0 out of 5 stars I cannot wait for Jan Karon's next book after A New Song!
Jan Karon's Mitford series are the best books I have ever read. I look foreward to her next one. Her characters seem real and feel like family to me.

5.0 out of 5 stars Change is Good; Change is Hard
Taking Cynthia and the Rector out of Mitford appears to be hard for many -- but some of the message seems to be that change is a natural and special part of life. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars I was wondering . . .
It occurred to me also that the last scene could be Father Tim meeting his maker, but I think more likely Jeffrey Tolson, who's story line remains dangling. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars wonderful BUT what really happened to Fr. Tim???????
Could I be the only reader who thought that Fr. Tim met his maker at the end of A New Song?
