Hello from the Osceola Public Library's A Novel Idea Book Club! Our book club's May book was "At Home in Mitford" by Jan Karon. Book Description: It's easy to feel at home in Mitford. In these high, green hills, the air is pure, the village is charming, and the people are generally loveable.
Yet, Father Tim, the bachelor rector, wants something more. Enter the dog the size of a sofa who moves in and won't go away. Add an attractive neighbor who begins wearing a path through the hedge. Now, stir in a loveable but unloved boy, a mystifying jewel thief, and a secret that's sixty years old.
Suddenly, Father Tim gets more than he bargained for. And readers get a rich, provincial comedy in which mysteries and miracles abound.
This book is good and the characters are likeable but be prepared for the story lines to be kind of everywhere and the book to be a fairly slow read. If you are interested in joining the A Novel Idea Book Club, we meet the last Monday of each month @ 4 pm. We have a lively discussion of our book of the month with great friends and enjoy a great dessert! If you would like more information, please reach out to the Osceola Public Library, we would love for you to join us!
