These High, Green Hills (The Mitford Years, Book 3) Paperback – January 1, 2005

For years, Mitford's sixtysomething rector has been happily married to his parish. Now he's also married to Cynthia, his vivacious next-door neighbor.

For Father Tim, life in Mitford has never been so full of surprises. His wife is "aging" his already ancient kitchen walls, not to mention burning his draperies. The mountain boy he's learned to love as his own makes a heartrending decision. And the agony of mastering the church computer system is as boggling as the pandemonium that breaks loose when his quiet rectory becomes a nursery.

All this, however, is small potatoes compared to what happens on a wilderness camping trip that sends him home a changed man.

Delightful and thought provoking. Real love and real life. More words required, why? Is this yet enough words - not yet?

This book was a gift for my sister who loved it. She is a Mitford fan and is currently running through the series in chronologoical order. She loves them all! I read the first three novels in the series and enjoyed them very much too. That's why I felt comfortable rating this one 5 stars. All the stories are sweet, gentle, fun, entertaining and populated with interesting and endearing characters. There is always just a hint of trouble or spice in the community of Mitford which keeps the stories realistic and entertaining. I highly recommend the entire series for a little escape. Whenever I had a stressful day, I'd grab my reading glasses and tell my husband, "I'm going to MItford!"

This is the second time I have read this book. I usually don’t read books more than one time. There are too many books out there I want to read . But Jan Karon books are different. I love Mitford, Father Tim and the rest of the characters and their interactions. I love the biblical references and lessons she teaches too. She is a great story teller. She makes you laugh and cry and feel every emotion her characters are going through. Her stories are clean and never boring.

This is the second time i have read Jan Karon's Mitford books and if anything I am enjoying them more than the first time. I will point out that I never read books twice until now. They are just wonderful and I feel are truly inspired. they are very "American" but as i read a lot of American books that is no problem for me.

This book is heart warming, funny, well written, and has a unpredictable plot. Excellent story. The author describes not only the looks of the characters, but their personalities, and after a few pages, you feel well acquainted with them. She has an unexpected sense of humour, which I found refreshing.
