Synopsis "An Irish Country Girl "

Readers of Patrick Taylor's books know Mrs. Kinky Kincaid as the unflappable housekeeper who looks after two frequently frazzled town doctors in the colourful Irish village of Ballybucklebo. A trusted fixture in the lives of those around her, it often seems as though Kinky has always been there. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Some forty-odd years before and many miles to the south, the girl who would someday be Kinky Kincaid was Maureen O'Hanlon, a farmer's daughter growing up in the emerald hills and glens of County Cork. A precocious girl on the cusp of womanhood, Maureen has a head full of dreams, a heart open to romance, and something more: a gift for seeing beyond the ordinary into the mystic realm of fairies, spirits, and even the dreaded Banshee, whose terrifying wail she first hears on a snowy night in 1922. . . . As she grows into a young woman, Maureen finds herself torn between love and her fondest aspirations, for the future is a mystery even for one blessed with the sight. Encountering both joy and sorrow, Maureen at last finds herself on the road to Ballybucklebo--and the strong and compassionate woman she was always destined to become. An Irish Country Girl is another captivating tale by Patrick Taylor, a true Irish storyteller.

Patrick Taylor es un médico y escritor norirlandés, conocido principalmente por su exitosa serie de novelas ambientadas en Irlanda del Norte, centradas en la ficticia aldea de Ballybucklebo. Nació en Bangor, en el condado de Down, y estudió medicina en Queens University Belfast. Más tarde emigró a Canadá, donde trabajó como investigador y profesor de medicina reproductiva. Su carrera médica ha sido prolífica, con más de 170 publicaciones científicas y varios libros de texto médicos.

Taylor comenzó a escribir ficción como una forma de relajarse, y alcanzó el reconocimiento internacional con su novela "An Irish Country Doctor" (2007), la primera de una larga serie que combina humor, drama y una profunda humanidad. Las historias siguen las vidas del Dr. Fingal Flahertie O'Reilly y su joven asistente, el Dr. Barry Laverty, mientras atienden a los excéntricos pero entrañables habitantes del pueblo. Su estilo cálido y nostálgico ha conquistado a lectores en todo el mundo.

Además de sus novelas, Taylor también ha escrito cuentos cortos y ensayos. Aunque retirado de la medicina, continúa escribiendo. Su obra ofrece una visión entrañable de la vida rural irlandesa de mediados del siglo XX, llena de compasión, tradición y humor.
