Negative Positive
Title: Common befits this book, which is a shame.
Review: I joyfully read Jan Karon's Mitford series to learn more about Mitfordians, as they feel like real neighbors and friends. It's apparent this book was produced at the behest of someone other than the author herself. Normally, she fills her books with thoughtful and apt turns of phrase, showing us the highs and lows of various lives, coloring and shading with rich dialects. While this book has the characters we've come to know, it rings hollow. It's a shame, too, because I felt a real let down while reading the book. I'm halfway through it and don't really have the inspiration to finish. We know Father Tim and Cynthia married, so there's no stone left unturned.I give the book two stars because I don't "hate it", as a one-star review might reflect. It's a large disappointment.
