An Irish Country Family

fullDescription

The instant USA Today bestselller!
An Irish Country Family is a charming entry in Patrick Taylor's beloved internationally bestselling Irish Country series.
Before Doctor Barry Laverty joined Doctor Fingal O'Reilly's practice in the colorful Irish village of Ballybucklebo, he was an intern, working long hours, practicing new medical techniques, falling in love, and learning what is most important in the medical field for a family physician—the bonds of family, friendships, and human kindness.
Years later, Barry practices everything he has learned in Ballybucklebo, a lovely village where neighbor looks after neighbor. And while his own efforts to start a family with his wife Sue have been frustrated, the community around him couldn't be stronger as they work together to show their solidarity.
Shifting effortlessly between the two time periods, bestselling author Patrick Taylor continues the story of these beloved characters while vividly bringing the daily joys and struggles of this delightful Irish village to life.

     The 14th in this series (beginning with An Irish Country Doctor) sees Irish doctor Barry Laverty facing ups and downs in his training life and as a rural GP in Northern Ireland. The flashbacks visit Barry as a hospital intern in the early 1960s, struggling to carry on a romance with a demanding girlfriend, while also learning the medical ropes, including the new science of CPR and defibrillation. Taylor explains in the introduction that his real life as a young doctor included learning to use these innovations with cardiac patients. Matters of the heart also feature in passages of the narrative that see Dr. Laverty in his late 1960s practice in rural Ballybucklebo. Barry and wife Susan are trying for a child, with the misery of infertility gently and authentically explored. Also sensitively examined is Northern Ireland's political climate, as Barry and his fellow villagers strive to set up a social center where all members of the community feel welcome, and their efforts will give readers a feel for the best side of life in the region. VERDICT Taylor's fans will need no convincing, but also suggest this warm story to those who enjoy novels by Maeve Binchy.--Henrietta Verma, Credo Reference, New York, NY

Chockful of charm, colorful characters, and earthy wisdom, this gentle read is the perfect antidote for whatever ails you; urge readers to pour a cup of tea and cozy up for a return visit to Taylor's delightful corner of the fictional universe.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2019, American Library Association.)
