Jan Karon’s Holly Springs series continues

Jan Karon

Novelist Jan Karon will be returning with a second Father Tim novel, In the Company of Others, on October 19. After concluding her Mitford series in 2005 with Light From Heaven, Karon used the marriage of beloved character Father Tim to launch a spin-off series that seems just as popular with her many fans.

So far, few details have been released about the upcoming book—though Karon has said it is one of her longest: “This book will have many more chapters than my previous novels, and the lengths will vary greatly.” It takes place in County Sligo, Ireland, where Father Tim and Cynthia have traveled to do some genealogical research. Instead, the couple becomes caught up in the lives of the county’s modern-day inhabitants, especially the family who owns the inn where they are staying.

    I loved the Mitford series and I’m hoping to get the opportunity to start the Holly Springs series soon.
