ENTER THE WORLD of Mitford, and you won't want to leave. But the village's loyal rector, Father Tim, is suddenly not so certain.

A maverick dog the size of a Buick follows him home and won't go away. A hostile young boy gets thrust into his care. His attractive new neighbor begins to wear a path to his door, stirring feelings he hasn't felt in years.

Add to that an epic dinner party, a potentially valuable painting, a surprising tale of arson and unrequited love, a mysterious break-in-and you have At Home in Mitford, a delightful novel, rich with appealing characters, charm, and wit—and a story to return to again and again.
