Jan Karon designed a wonderful series of books about a place called Mitford. The stories are like a slice of ordinary life with ordinary people in a small town. The townspeople are not perfect; they have secrets and bad moments, but Karon doesn't dwell on them. If you are looking for Peyton Place, this is not the series for you. However, there is conflict and misunderstanding as well as reconciliation and love. I really enjoy all her books. I am also our church librarian, and I wanted this book in our library to replace an old copy.
Jan Karon's Mitford series is one one of the best I've ever read. I am reading it a second time. The characters are so well developed. You feel that you know them. The stories are uplifting and full of wit. They stir all manner of emotions as you become acquainted with the citizens of Mitford.

This is a great book. It is part of a series of books by Jan Karon. Each book in the series is a pure delight to read. The descriptive writing gives you an accurate idea of the characters and locations of the events. Each character becomes an old friend as you read this book. Give yourself a treat and purchase this book and any of the others in the series. You won't be disappointed and will look forward to reading the next installment in the life of Father Tim and the other characters. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys reading good literature.
The Mitford series, including "A Common Life", is not a cute, homespun, folksy journey of smalltown living. What author Jan Karon has written is a masterfully simple, elegant, and attractive invitation for the reader to embrace a personal and sweet relationship with Jesus Christ. This series IS amazing grace!
I've read all the books in the series, each more than once. I bought this to replace an unreturned book I lent to a friend. I consider it a privilege to introduce them to the people of Mitford! I highly recommend the entire series!
