An Irish Country Practice (An Irish Country Novel)

Doctor Fingal Flahertie O'Reilly has taken a new trainee under his wing, and he's also added a spirited Labrador puppy to the ever-expanding household at Number One Main Street. Meanwhile, his trusted partner, young Doctor Barry Laverty, finds himself wondering if he's truly ready to settle down and start a family with his soon-to-be bride, Sue.

As the doctors cope with domestic and professional challenges, they also look after their patients: a woman who has a mysterious cough; a housewife whose frequent "accidents" may have a disturbing cause; and a respected colleague who might be succumbing to an old vice.

Despite sickness and worry, there's plenty of joy and merriment to be found in Ballybucklebo . . . and maybe even a happy ending or two.
