BooksInMirror | Feb 19, 2024 |  juliais_bookluvr | Mar 9, 2023 |  ) jennybeast | Apr 14, 2022 |  ) Wren73 | Mar 4, 2022 | Book two in the popular Irish Country Doctor series, relating the trials and tribulations of young Dr. Barry Laverty as he begins his practice as a country GP in the mid-1960s in Ballybucklebo, a fictitious community in Northern Ireland full of eccentric and memorable residents. The entire book takes place over just a few weeks, immediately following the events of book one. Dr Laverty is faced with a possible malpractice suit, damaging his reputation and forcing him to return to apprentice role under senior physician Dr Fingal Flahertie O’Reilly. That’s bad enough but his relationship with Patricia Spence has hit a snag. But their devoted housekeeper, Mrs Kincaid (a/k/a Kinky) assures young Barry that everything will work out. Taylor has a gift for making his character so alive they fairly jump off the page. Whether the exuberance of a bellowing O’Reilly, or the quiet pleading of the elderly Sonny, I felt I knew these people. I also love the descriptions he gives of the landscape; makes me feels that I’ve actually been to Northern Ireland. I came late to this party, having only read the first book last year. But I was completely delighted, and I’ll keep reading this series. They lift my heart and bring laughter into my world. The audiobook is performed by the talented John Keating. Whether voicing O’Reilly, Patricia, Barry, Kinky or any of the many other characters, he brings them to life and gives each a unique voice. Fantastic performance! ( ) BookConcierge | Nov 18, 2020 |
 For all Taylor’s facility as a writer, we are talking saccharine here, and more saccharine than Ballykissangel and a tale with insufficient substance to justify 400 plus pages. But perhaps in credit crunch times, and in our own still conflicted society, if you are over 50 and you want to escape, Ballybucklebo is the place to go.

De jonge dokter Barry voelt zich helemaal thuis in de huisartsenpraktijk van de excentrieke dokter O'Reilly. In het bedrieglijk slaperige Noord-Ierse dorpje Ballybucklebo valt altijd wel iets te beleven. De onverwachte dood van een patiënt werpt een schaduw over Barry's reputatie. De treurende weduwe gelooft dat er een verkeerde diagnose is gesteld. Gespannen wacht Barry de resultaten van het post mortem onderzoek af en peinst zich suf hoe hij het vertrouwen van zijn patiënten kan terugwinnen. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
