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!
