An Irish Country Practice is the twelfth heartwarming installment in
New York Times and Globe and Mail bestselling author Patrick
Taylor's beloved Irish Country series.
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 at Number One Main Street. 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 fiancée, 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.
