I want more! (4/5 people found this helpful)

Once I discovered Jan Karon's engaging & uplifting Mitford series I immediately devoured all six books in just a short period, relishing the anecdotes of Father Tim Kavanaugh & his faith-filled community.

Here in A Common Life are the long-awaited answers to these deeply probing questions: Will Father Tim fall apart when he takes his vows? Will Cynthia make it to the church on time? Who'll arrange the flowers & bake the wedding cake? And will Uncle Billy's prayers for a great joke be answered in time for the reception?

Reading A Common Life is somewhat akin to enjoying a flashback episode of a favorite television series. While the story is enjoyable, I was left wanting. My only wish is that Jan Karon will continue forward with the Mitford series & the tales of Tim & Cynthia & their extended family.

Disappointed (3/3 people found this helpful)

I loved all the other Mitford books and was so excited when I saw a new title, that I bought the book instantly. However I was very disappointed, the book focuses exclusively on Father Tim's wedding, which is strange as in the last book he was already married!? The content is light as some of the details have already been revealed in other books. All in all I felt disappointed and a little misled. I had expected it to carry on from the last book - instead it felt like a re-work of existing material rather than adding something to the Mitford stories.
