Beautifully evocative of a gentler, simpler time, Patrick Taylors An Irish Country Village magically captures the charm, wit, and ribald humor of a vanished Irish countryside and its people. Welcome Back to the Village of Ballybucklebo. Come and say hello again to Dr. OReillys odd-as-two-left feet patients, his housekeeper, Mrs. Kinky Kinkaid, and OReillys pets, Arthur Guinness, the beer-swilling black Lab and Lady MacBeth, the demonically possessed white cat. And of course, to young Dr. Barry Laverty. After Barrys first month as an assistant to crusty Dr. OReilly, he has been offered a permanent spot. But Lavertys excitement is dashed when one of his patients unexpectedly dies. The damage to his reputation is enormous, and he and OReilly must work to resolve the question of Barrys responsibility for the death. They also have to figure out how to save the four-hundred-year-old village pub. Plans are afoot to not renew the hundred-year lease and instead transform the old pub into a sparkling new tourist trap.To make matters even worse, Patricia Spence, the love of Barrys life, announces she is trying to win a scholarship to distant Cambridge University, all the way in England. . . .Patrick Taylor, M.D., is the author of the Irish Country books, including An Irish Country Doctor, An Irish Country Village, An Irish Country Christmas, An Irish Country Girl, and An Irish Country Courtship. Taylor was born and raised in Bangor, County Down, in Northern Ireland. After qualifying as a specialist in 1969, he worked in Canada for thirty-one years. He now lives on Saltspring Island, British Columbia.Book specifications:Collection: Irish Country BooksDimensions: 208 x 136Author: Patrick TaylorCover type: PaperbackPublishing Year: 2022Publishing Month: 9Pages: 432Language: EnglishPublisher: ForgeWeight: 363 g
