Mitford's small town life is revealed to us through the eyes of one Timothy Kavanagh, or as people prefer to call him, Father Tim.
Father Tim has led a solitary home life for the majority of his adult existence, though the certainty of that world will shift the year he turns sixty. His reality alters with the appearance of a massive dog, who's still a puppy, a young boy needing a new home and an interesting neighbor, for which he's inadequately prepared.
It's not that he finds women offensive, though considerable women exhausted his attention, which demonstrated his gracious patience in rebuffing their advances.
His singular life wasn't planned, the problem evolved from the lack of a soulmate. The unconscious choice was made to live alone
