<b>A stirring page-turner from the bestselling author of the Mitford Series. </b> <br><br> Jan Karon's new series, launched with her <i>New York Times</i> bestselling <i>Home to Holly Springs</i>, thrilled legions of Mitford devotees, and also attracted a whole new set of readers. "Lovely," said <i>USA Today</i>. "Rejoice!" said <i>The Washington Post</i>. <br><br> In this second novel, Father Tim and Cynthia arrive in the west of Ireland, intent on researching his Kavanagh ancestry from the comfort of a charming fishing lodge. The charm, however, is broken entirely when Cynthia startles a burglar and sprains her already-injured ankle. Then a cherished and valuable painting is stolen from the lodge owners, and Cynthia's pain pales in comparison to the wound at the center of this bitterly estranged Irish family. <br><br> <i>In the Company of Others</i> is a moving testament to the desperate struggle to hide the truth at any cost and the powerful need to confess. Of all her winning novels, Jan Karon says this "dark-haired child" is her favorite-a sentiment readers everywhere are certain to share.
