Fans of Patrick Taylor's bestselling Irish Country novels know Dr. Fingal Flahertie O'Reilly as the irascible senior partner of a general practice in the colourful Irish village of Ballybucklebo.

But there was a time, shortly after arriving in Ballybucklebo, that Dr. O'Reilly was not widely accepted by the villagers. This touching short story tells of how O'Reilly, with a little help, began to overcome their objections.

Whether you're visiting for the first time, or you're a long-time resident, you'll enjoy this fun glimpse into life in Patrick Taylor's village of Ballybucklebo.

Critic reviews

<p>“What Herriot did for Yorkshire, Taylor does for Northern Ireland . . . minus the animals, of course, but with all the good sentiments.” —<i>Kirkus Reviews on An Irish Country Wedding</i><br><br>“Taylor is a bang-up storyteller who captivates and entertains from the first word.” —<i>Publishers Weekly on An Irish Country Girl</i><br><br>“The author laces his heartwarming moments with liberal doses of whiskey and colourful Ulster invectives.” —<i>Chicago Sun-Times</i><br><br>“Patrick Taylor has become probably the most popular Irish-Canadian writer of all time.” —<i>The Globe and Mail</i></p>

Thumbs Up

I've listened to other books in this series - with another narrator. This Irish narration seems a little stained. The bit of British narration was better. I am hoping for improvement in subsequent books.
