Item Description...
Overview
Recently retired, Episcopal priest Father Tim and his wife, Cynthia, discover new challenges and adventures when Tim agrees to serve as interim minister of a small church on Whitecap Island, in the fifth novel in the bestselling Mitford series. Reprint.
Publishers Description
Recently retired after years of serving as the rector of Lord's Chapel, Father Tim agrees to pastor a parish in the coastal town of Whitecap. There's only one problem: how can he and Cynthia leave the town -- and the boy -- they love? Soon, however, the charming island of Whitecap reveals its own cast of unforgettable characters: a lovelorn bachelor trying his hand at personal ads, a church organist with a mysterious past, a gifted musician who never ventures beyond his gate, and a young mother struggling with depression. Though Father Tim and Cynthia are immersed in the challenges and quiet victories that make a community special, the high, green hills of Mitford are never far from their minds -- especially when Father Tim's ward, Dooley ends up on the wrong side of the law. |

 | Delightful... as are all of Jan Karon's books! May 11, 2006 |
| Mitford is the kind of place that we would all love to live.... a slpeey little town in the mountains where you know your neighbors. I recommend buying this book... and curling up in your favorite chair with a warm blanket and cup of hot chocolate! Turn the phones off and slip away... I guarentee that you won't want to come back! | | | | Then Sings My Soul Feb 21, 2006 |
| "A New Song" is capable of lifting one's soul from under winter's repression;whether it is weather or lost soul related.This book,like Jan's others,provides a cool,pristine drink from a novel bubbling with joy,life,and laughter.It satisfies the thirst for a good read that is NOT filled with sex,violence,and vulgarity! | | | | Keep Them Coming Aug 13, 2005 |
| I lose myself in Jan Karon's books. The series on the little town of Mitford and Father Tim I hope will never end. We need these type books today. God, integrity, goodness, honor and love is so sorely lacking in our world today that I feel hopeful when I am able to find something so rewarding to read. I pray that Jan Karon will continue to develop new characters while keeping the old to remind us that with faith all things are possible. A New Song is well worth the read!! May Jan keep them coming. | | | | Another great book! Dec 5, 2003 |
| Another great book as usual! Too bad there aren't more books like her's. Don't we all wish we lived in Mitford! Great Bible quotes, great friendships and a little love splashed in somewhere! | | |  | Best Book Since Her First One Sep 18, 2003 |
| My wife and I have read each of Karon's Mitford books aloud to each other over the past few years. I enjoyed this book more than I had the previous two in the series. I think that the new locale and the fresh characters really breathed new life into the series. I know from book blurbs that the next installments of the series will be returning to Mitford. I almost wish the author would spend another book in Whitecap, the setting of this book. Mitford is not abandoned; some storylines continue, including those of Buck Leeper and Dooley Barlowe. But Whitecap Island and its residents have a distinctness that whetted my appetite for more. There was a pleasing authenticity to the descriptions of the island community, and I enjoyed discovering it alongside Father Tim. From `Ernie's Books Bait, & Tackle' to St. John's in the Grove, this is a fascinating place to visit. In St. John's, Father Tim is introduced to church politics of quite a different sort from his experience with the Mitford church. And the conversations in Ernie's shop are some of the best dialogue Karon has written. If there is one disappointment for me with this book, it is that Karon couldn't resist the temptation to resolve a neat ending for the Jeffrey Tolson character. Sometimes it's better to let the readers speculate about the fate of secondary characters, and I think this was a perfect case for just that sort of a vague or unstated ending. If anyone wondered whether the author had enough creativity to go beyond Mitford, I think this book provides an affirmative answer. In my opinion this is the best book since her first one (_At Home in Mitford_) | | | Write your own review about New Song (Mitford Years V5)
