Summary

A brand-new tale in Patrick Taylor's New York Times bestselling series

Fans of Taylor's bestselling Irish Country novels know Dr. Fingal Flahertie O'Reilly as the irascible senior partner of a general practice in the colorful Irish village of Ballybucklebo. Newly married to his once long-lost sweetheart, he's ready to settle into domestic bliss, but there's always something requiring his attention, be it a riding accident, a difficult patient with a worrisome heart condition, a spot of grouse-hunting, or even some tricky shenanigans at the local dog races.

The everyday complications of village life are very different from the challenges Fingal faced nearly thirty years earlier, when fresh out of medical school, the young Dr. O'Reilly accepts a post at the Aungier Street Dispensary, tending to the impoverished denizens of Dublin's tenement slums. Yet even as he tries to make a difference, Fingal's tireless devotion to his patients may cost him his own true love….

Shifting back and forth between the present and the past, Patrick Taylor's captivating Fingal O'Reilly, Irish Doctor, brings to life both the green young man O'Reilly once was and the canny village doctor readers have come to know and admire.

The book was all wrong

This book was a major disappointment, I have to date purchased all of Patrick Taylor’s books but unfortunately this was a waste of money and very frustrating, where did the major characters go, where is Barry Laverty, Sue Nolan, Kinky, Kitty?
Who on earth is Pat Taylor?
When did Fingel suddenly get a Yacht? Why oh why have excerpts of all previous stories been cobbled together in this book now very confusingly attributed to Pat Taylor when exactly the same story was written about Barry Laverty, this book should never have been written, very upset as I’m a real fan of all previous books
