An Irish country village - Patrick Taylor

Patrick Taylor first charmed readers with An Irish Country Doctor (Brandon, 2009 - also available from Turnaround), a warm and enchanting novel in the tradition of James Herriot. Now he returns to the colourful rural community of Ballybucklebo, where there's always something brewing beneath the village's deceptively sleepy surface. Young doctor Barry Laverty has only just begun an assistantship under the eccentric Dr Fingal Flahertie O'Reilly. But when one of his patients suddenly dies, his chances of establishing himself in the village start looking slim.
