In this fifth volume of Karon's popular series (Out to Canaan, etc.) set in the quaint North Carolina town of Mitford, where people chuckle and say "dadgummit," Father Timothy Kavanagh is leaving town for a post-retirement interim appointment at a small island parish off the coast of North Carolina. After what seems (even to the minister and his wife) to be an endless round of good-byes, he and his wife, Cynthia, set off in a brand-new red convertible. Stormy weather, which closes in on them as they near Whitecap Island, presages the many struggles to come. Once on the island, Fr. Tim tries to befriend a seemingly hostile and isolated neighbor while he and Cynthia take over the care of a three-year-old boy whose mother is suffering from depression. Back in Mitford, meanwhile, Dooley, the mountain boy who is like a son to Fr. Tim, is thrown into jail, and the quiet woman who seemed the perfect tenant for the rectory house surprises the minister with a lawsuit. Additionally, an unexpected storm moves in off the ocean with devastating force. Karon adds a dash of suspense to her homey brew with the increasingly suspicious behavior of Fr. Tim's tenant, whose story emerges in a compelling confession. Newcomers to the series may find they have much to catch up on, but readers making a return trip to the Kavanaghs' world will be happily swept up in the maelstrom of small-town and spiritual drama that characterizes the novel. Literary Guild and Doubleday Book Club super release; Crossings Book Club main selection; Penguin audio; author tour.

- content: Relocating from one ministry to another proves to be a challenge for Father Tim, an Episcopal rector just retired. As he and his wife move to Whitecap Island to serve as the church's interim minister, they discover a cast of characters they never bargained for. Jan Karon's voice is pleasant; her performance truly shines when she lends a natural North Carolina accent to a few of the characters. Listeners looking for a sweet story with a quirky twist will surely enjoy A NEW SONG. R.A.P. (c) AudioFile, Portland, Maine

- content: Fr. Tim, newly retired Episcopal priest, takes leave of his beloved parish in Mitford and journeys, along with with his wife and faithful dog, Barnabas, to Whitecap Island, where he will be interim pastor. Touching leaving-takings, broken marriages, lonely hearts and a hurricane all find their place in the story. However, it is Fr. Tim's faith and discerning acceptance of himself and his fellow man that have made these books so special. John McDonough's gentle, slightly dry, often humorous tone perfectly captures the essence of Fr. Tim. We should all know a priest, minister or rabbi like Father Tim Kavanaugh, and short of knowing one, it's a joy to experience this loving man through John McDonough's reading. L.R.S.

Karon reads the fifth installment of her popular Mitford series with gentle authority, nimble in her Southern enunciation and the depiction of colorful local characters (the four previous titles are available on tape, with the author at the microphone). She is very good at establishing mood, eliciting the nuances of time and place in the life of Father Tim Kavanagh, the recently retired Episcopal minister of this postcard-perfect North Carolina small town. He and Cynthia, his devoted wife, are moving to the coastal island of Whitecap for a year, where he is to preside as interim minister at a small church. Kavanagh is acutely sensitive to the "upheaval" of the "tearing up and nailing down" required by the temporary move. He feels homesick and is nagged with fear, especially as he learns that his adopted teenage son, Dooley, has landed in jail back home. And that's just the beginning of his troubles. Because Kavanagh's life unfolds episodically--and always in unexpected ways--it translates especially keenly as audio drama. Simultaneous release with the Viking hardcover.
