Publisher's note

Disappointed to learn that his sweetheart will not be joining him for a first holiday season in a rural Irish community, doctor Barry Laverty busies himself by caring for his patients and struggling to outmaneuver the manipulations of a newly arrived quack physician. 100,000 first printing.

Annotation

It's Christmas time in Ballybucklebo, Patrick Taylor's whimsical Irish village, where Dr. Fingal O'Reilly continues to tutor his apprentice Dr. Barry Laverty in the unique ways of Irish medicine. While both O'Reilly and Laverty face the forlorn prospect of spending the holidays without a romantic partner, they are distracted by the arrival of a medical quack who begins endangering their patients with a slew of absurd home remedies. They still find time to attend to the usual coughs and sniffles and make the local social scene, including the Rugby Club Party and the children's Christmas pageant. With a number of delightful set pieces and heartwarming storylines, Taylor's yarn is sure to become a contemporary Christmas favorite.

4 out of 5 stars An Irish Country Christmas, December 16, 2008
By Becca
An Irish Country Christmas. Sounds like 500 pages of L.A.M.E., doesn’t it? But it was actually quite delightful! The story follows two country doctors (one seasoned and crusty, one young and fresh) in rural Ireland during the weeks preceding Christmas of 1964. The tale is sweet and funny and informative. The characters were brilliantly drawn and ever so endearing. Together we enjoyed walks along the sea, rugby matches won by the comical, heroic Labrador, Arthur Guinness, a botched nativity play (which made me laugh out loud in public!), a rigged lottery, many, many meals and trips to the local pub! I couldn’t help but think this would make a classic PG13 Christmas movie, and with the right actors, could be downright hilarious! I dog-ear pages in my books as I read to remind myself of things I found interesting, funny, or memorable. Things I may want to look up later. My hardcover of An Irish Country Christmas has swollen to twice it’s size with all my page-bending! The Irish slang is quite delicious and the book is full of medical information, recipes and charming dialog! I am happy to have spent my days leading to Christmas with these heartwarming characters. I am really going to miss them!
