A Light in the Window by Jan Karon (1996, Paperback, Reprint)

Light in the Window is another wonderful read from talented and insightful author Jan Karon. The second book in the Mitford series, this one chronicles Father Tim's courtship with Cynthia. Karon beautifully details the aging bachelor's trials and triumphs in this regard along with his fear of long-term commitment. Cynthia is not always portrayed in the kindest light ... is, in fact, often petulant and sometimes downright fickle, but she does become a far more likable character in subsequent books. Otherwise, you're bound to enjoy the other Mitford characters we've all come to love -- especially Dooley, Miss Sadie, Louella, Puny, Uncle Billy, and Barnabas, and you'll love to hate Edith Mallory as she tries to set her hooks in Tim. Cousin Meg also comes to visit, and there's a weird egg, if ever there was one! There's always a lot going on in Mitford, most of it heartwarming and soul satisfying!

I had just read the book that comes before - At Home in Mitford.
It was in a box of books that someone gave to me. I never imagined
it would be such a sweet story, and I could not stop there, so
now I have the next one, A Light in the Window.

Lighthearted reading. Love to get into the characters. I had heard about this book from a friend,and she was right--it's a good read for anyone.

this book has been recommended to me by several friends over the last couple of years. I had always put off reading them because I didn't want to "get into" a new series of books. Well, I took the plunge and now I'm hooked. What a great, smooth read. You hardly want to put it down and you can't wait until the next free moment you have to read to find out what might be happening in the lives of your "new friends".
Highly recommended. You won't regret it.

I have bought this book twice before, lent it out and needed to buy it one more time, just so I could lend it to more friends. What a great series!

I have found myself square in the middle of this quaint little town of Mitford and I never want to leave. I recommend reading the first book, At Home in Mitford before jumping into this one. Although the book reads well, even if you haven't read the first one. Once I picked it up, I couldn't put this one down.
