People


Fans of the Mitford novels, rejoice: Father Tim Kavanagh is back in town...[and] wrestling with the existential challenge of retirement.... It's a wonderful stew of small town characters.... The ending...is too emotionally prepackaged and drags out a long book. Fans should debate whether Father Tim has to cry as much as he does, but like him, they will welcome the return to Mitford.
