Synopsis "Irish Country Village (Irish Country Books, 2) "

Beautifully evocative of a gentler, simpler time, Patrick Taylor's An Irish Country Village magically captures the charm, wit, and ribald humor of a vanished Irish countryside and its people. Welcome Back to the Village of Ballybucklebo. Come and say hello again to Dr. O'Reilly's odd-as-two-left feet patients, his housekeeper, Mrs. Kinky Kinkaid, and O'Reilly's pets, Arthur Guinness, the beer-swilling black Lab and Lady MacBeth, the demonically possessed white cat. And of course, to young Dr. Barry Laverty. After Barry's first month as an assistant to crusty Dr. O'Reilly, he has been offered a permanent spot. But Laverty's excitement is dashed when one of his patients unexpectedly dies. The damage to his reputation is enormous, and he and O'Reilly must work to resolve the question of Barry's responsibility for the death. They also have to figure out how to save the four-hundred-year-old village pub. Plans are afoot to not renew the hundred-year lease and instead transform the old pub into a sparkling new tourist trap.To make matters even worse, Patricia Spence, the love of Barry's life, announces she is trying to win a scholarship to distant Cambridge University, all the way in England. . . .

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.
