Search - In the Company of Others (Father Tim, Bk 2)

This is a beautifully written book, perhaps the best of both the Father Tim and Mitford series, and that's saying something.

Having read, and re-read, all of those books, I feel that one shouldn't read the latest without having read the previous - but doing so would certainly make the reader want to go back and seek out each series.

Characters are fully developed, and attention paid to the beautiful setting in Ireland. Cultural differences are noted and observed, but all is done in a natural, easy-to-read style.

Go forth, and enjoy this book without any reservation!

Another warm and fuzzy book about Father Tim & Cynthia...this time the entire book takes place in Ireland and involves quite a few interesting characters at the inn where they are staying. It's a little different, and I kind of missed the North Carolina characters and flavor, but all in all, a good read.

Perhaps a bit darker but not so much. Still Father Tim, being himself. I found the old journal fascinating & was sorry to see it, and the book, end. We should be happy to get a few more glimpses of Mitford folks, after all...

Always a pleasure to read Fr. Tim's adventures.

I loved this book! It was like taking a summer vacation without leaving home. I felt like I was living the experience, the characters were so real. I was sorry for it to end. I have already loaned it to someone else to read! I think Jan Karon's writing gets better and better. This book is my favorite of hers so far.

I have read the whole Mitford series as well as the first Father Tim book; loved them all. However, I could not get throught this one. The story didn't seem to go anywhere ( I read half of the book) and the pages of the diary were very boring to me. Maybe the story comes together in the end, but I was just forcing myself to contine reading it. Sorry, Jan Karon.
