An Irish Country Wedding is another heart-warming addition to
New York Times bestselling author Patrick Taylor's Irish Country series.
Love is in the air in the colourful Ulster village of Ballybucklebo, where Dr. Fingal Flahertie OReilly has finally proposed to the darling of his youth, Kitty OHallorhan. Theres a wedding to be planned, but before OReilly can make it to the altar, he and his young colleague, Barry Laverty, M.B., must deal with the usual round of eccentric patients—and crises both large and small.
Being a G.P. in a place like Ballybucklebo often means more than simply splinting broken bones and tending to aches and pains. It can also mean helping a struggling young couple acquire their first home, clearing the name of a cat accused of preying on a neighbors prize pigeons, and encouraging a bright working-class girl who dreams of someday becoming a doctor herself. And, if youre Barry Laverty, still smarting from a painful breakup, there might even be a chance for a new romance with a lovely school teacher, if her passionate political convictions dont get in the way.
Much has changed in Ballybucklebo, and bigger changes are in store, but the lives and practices of these Irish country doctors remain as captivating and irresistible as ever.
