Sumár recenzie
Kniha U nás v Mitforde od Jan Karonovej je láskavý a vtipný román o malej komunite, ktorá pôsobí ako literárny prístav a ponúka útulný oddych. Hlavnými postavami sú otec Tim (kňaz), neposlušný pes Barnabáš, takmer sirota Dooley a susedka Cynthia, ktorých príchod rozvíri pokojný život v Mitforde. Príbeh neponúka zložitú zápletku, skôr sériu humorných i dojemných príhod, ktoré zdôrazňujú silu spoločenstva a každodenné povinnosti duchovného, čo vedie k hlbokému pochopeniu a vďačnosti voči kňazom. S viac než 500 stranami je to ideálna oddychovka, písaná s jemným humorom a ilustráciami, ktorá čitateľa upokojí a rozosmeje.
