Shepherd's Abiding

with "Esther's Gift" and "The Mitford Snowmen"
by Jan Karon
Hennepin County audiobook, 6.25 hours
read by John McDonough

Although I enjoy the Mitford stories, they're not in my top ten list, if you know what I mean. I had actually listened to this one many years ago. It's jumpy as the narrative hops between many different characters (and Father Tim's childhood). It made me wonder how she noted the changes in the book? Extra white space? Different font? There are some things that don't translate well to audio format.

I guess this is like curling up in a comfy blanket on the sofa. Nice, but not stimulating. Mitford stories are like that.
