Fiction. Literature. HTML:In this beautifully crafted second novel in the Mitford series, #1 New York Times bestselling author Jan Karon delivers a love story that's both heartwarming and hilarious. 

Father Tim—Mitford's rector and lifelong bachelor—is in need of divine intervention. His attractive neighbor is tugging at his heartstrings. A wealthy widow is pursuing him with hot casseroles. And his red-haired Cousin Meg has moved into the rectory, uninvited. 

Only time will tell if the village parson can practice what he preaches. Filled with the miracles and mysteries of everyday life, A Light in the Window is an affirmation of what some of us already know: Life in a small town is rarely quiet. And absolutely never boring.

I think I liked the first book better, but there was a lot to hold my interest in this sequel book. Mystery, romance, humor. This book has it all. And the ending ... all I can say is "it's about time." Now, on to book 3! ( )

After being reminded by a friend that this series is delightfully like "curling up with a cup of tea," I realized that the whole series is missing from my Goodreads list. It's been quite a while since I've read this book, so I'm just guessing on the date. I won't rate it, because the details are fuzzy, but I loved this series. Don't pick it up if you're looking for something exceptionally deep or literary. It's just a warm-hearted and good series with characters striving to learn and do what it right.

This second book in the series has more plot and less proselytizing.

Still, there is the tiring trope of the absent minded rector not seeing that
his cousin is stealing from him as did the Attic Man in his church.

Also readers may hope hthat he becomes less timid and more taking action when needed. ( )
