Description

"The charm of Taylor's Irish Country tales is brought to life in John Keating's performance. His Irish lilt will transport listeners straight to Ballybucklebo...Keating's pacing and inflections are perfect as he gives a unique vocal personality to each character." — AudioFile Magazine on An Irish Country Love Story
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.
This touching audiobook is as warm and cozy as the lovable town in which it takes place.

      • content: Narrator John Keating takes on the twelfth story about Doctors O'Reilly and Laverty, who have their hands full with professional and personal quandaries in the rustic Irish village of Ballybucklebo during the late 1960s. O'Reilly is training a new doctor while keeping up with the unpredictable needs of his patients. Keating is masterful in his interpretations of the extensive cast of Irish characters. Both the first-time listener and a fan of the series can easily recognize each person by changes in tone, pace, and unique traits. Keating smoothly transitions from detailed medical procedures to laughable vignettes. One can easily visualize the verdant green hills and fresh sea air, making a visit with Keating in the driver's seat a jovial trip back in time. S.H.
