An Irish country practice

Taylor, Patrick 1941- (Author).

Summary: Once, not too long ago, there was just a single Irish country doctor tending to the lively little village of Ballybucklebo: Doctor Fingal Flahertie O'Reilly. Now his thriving practice is growing by leaps and bounds. Not only has O'Reilly taken a new trainee under his wing, Doctor Connor Nelson, he's also added a spirited Labrador puppy to his ever-expanding household. Meanwhile, his trusted partner, young Doctor Barry Laverty, finds himself wondering if he's truly ready to settle down and start a family with his lovely fiance, Sue. As the doctors cope with domestic and professional challenges, they also look after their patients and their ailments, including a mysterious cough, a housewife whose frequent 'accidents' may have a disturbing cause, and a respected colleague who might be succumbing to an old vice. All is not sickness and worry, however. There's plenty of joy and merriment to be found as well, from a visiting circus to racing to sailing, and maybe even a happy ending or two.

An Irish Country Practice : An Irish Country Novel

Booklist
From Booklist, Copyright (c) American Library Association. Used with permission.

The twelfth novel in Taylor's popular Irish Country series arrives much like its doctors, with quiet good cheer and humor. It's the mid-1960s, and the Irish country doctors and their patients love the National Health Service. New partners are making the workload easier, and tension comes in the form of broken hearts and a new puppy. Not everything is the craic, as the Irish might say that is, delectable gossip. Cancer, addiction, poverty, and abuse all get a historically accurate treatment. A little too much expository writing about medical treatments and practices of the time, as well as a heavy hand with the Irish colloquialisms, can make the novel drag in places. But, overall, you'll want to grab a comfy spot, pour yourself a cup of tea, and spend more time with the friendly citizens of Ballybucklebo, Ireland.--Block, Marta Segal Copyright 2018 Booklist
