I bought the first book at a store that had used books included in their things for sale. While reading the book I was hooked and looking at the first pages, realized they were a series. I went to a used book store and accidently but happily found only two of Jan Karon's books, one was the one that I was reading at the time and the other happened to be book two which I purchased very quickly. After doing research and learning how much it was going to cost to purchase the rest of the series from the published, I happened to remember purchasing some books a couple years before from e-bay, so I went to the website and found all of the rest of the series. I love reading these books because not only do they are so well written that you actually feel like you are right there in Mitford while you are reading them. I also like the references to the bible through out the books. Some years ago I collected the Grace Livingston Hill books and still have them. Occasionally I run across one of her books that I do not have which is few and far between since I have most of them. They are really good but Jan Karon's books transport you to the site/scene you are reading about so very well. I loaned one to a friend of mine and she just let me know that she had read the first chapter of book one and clearly understood why I loved them so well.Read full review

Jan Karon never disappoints! Her Mitford series of books are rich and cohesive! Each one is a wonderful experience. A Common Life is so rich in character and entertainment! I highly reccomend !
