An Irish Country Doctor



(Above is the first book in the series.) I just finished reading An Irish Country Courtship, by Patrick Taylor, the last book in an enjoyable series about a medical practice set in 1964/65 in the fictional small town of Ballybucklebo, County Down, Northern Ireland. Doctor Fingal Flahertie O'Reilly is a locally legendary rural GP who hires Barry Laverty, a promising young doctor to share in the work and life of this small town. They live at Number 1, Main Street, with their housekeeper, Mrs. Maureen "Kinky" Kincaid; O'Reilly's dog, Arthur Guinness; and the homicidal white cat, Lady Macbeth. A great series of five books offering hours of good reading.
