An Irish Country Doctor


I really enjoyed An Irish Country Doctor by Patrick Taylor which is about a newly graduated doctor, Barry Laverty, starting work in a country practice in Ireland with an elderly Dr Fingal O'Reilly in the early 1960s. Some of Dr O'Reilly's methods seem "unconventional" to Barry but he soon grows to love his work and the people in the town, as well as meeting a nice young woman. This is one of those "lovely" books that are a delight to read. 4/5
