These High Green Hills (by Jan Karon)

(Amazon UK link)

This novel is the third in the 'Mitford' series by Jan Karon.

'These High Green Hills' continues the story of Father Tim and Cynthia, and their delightful friends and neighbours from the previous books. ('At Home in Mitford' and 'A Light in the Window').

Various crises develop, all of which are dealt with in gentle humour and love. Relaxing and enjoyable with good insight into a contented community in small-town America. Each individual becomes more realistic, the more we see of them.

It's probably best to have read the earlier two novels first, but I would still recommend this, which could also stand alone. I enjoyed it very much.
