About this ebook
Love and medicine intertwine in this heartwarming tale set in the colorful Ulster village of Ballybucklebo.
Young doctor Barry Laverty, M.B., is settling into the village life of Ballybucklebo, with only a few months left before he becomes a full partner in the practice. But an unexpected romantic reversal gives him second thoughts about his future. Is running a humble GP's shop all he wants out of life?
Meanwhile, Barry's mentor, Doctor Fingal Flahertie O'Reilly, is navigating his own personal upheavals. After mourning his deceased wife for decades, he's finally allowed a new woman into his life. However, this budding courtship isn't sitting well with Kinky Kincaid, the doctors' redoubtable housekeeper, who fears her position is being threatened.
As Barry and O'Reilly tackle the mysteries and dilemmas of Ballybucklebo, from a puzzling outbreak at the local school to a complicated swindle involving an unlucky racehorse, they'll need all of their wit, compassion, and a fair amount of blarney to put things right - just in time for their lives to change forever.
Irish Country Courtship is a humorous and heartwarming installment in Patrick Taylor's beloved Irish Country series. Set in Northern Ireland during the 1960s, this New York Times bestselling series is perfect for fans of small-town fiction and medical dramas with an Irish twist.
