<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br> "This book was previously published in 2004 under the title The apprenticeship of Doctor Laverty, by Insomniac Press, Toronto"--T.p. verso. <p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br> <p><b><i>An Irish Country Doctor</i> from bestselling author Patick Taylor is a charming and engrossing tale that will captivate readers from the very first page--and leave them yearning to visit the Irish countryside of days gone by. </b> <p/>Barry Laverty, M.B., can barely find the Northern Ireland village of Ballybucklebo on a map when he first sets out to seek gainful employment there. But Barry jumps at the chance to secure a position as an assistant in a small rural practice. <p/>At least until he meets Dr. Fingal Flahertie O'Reilly. <p/>The older physician has his own way of doing things. At first, Barry can't decide if the pugnacious O'Reilly is the biggest charlatan he has ever met or the best teacher he could ever hope for. Through O'Reilly, Barry soon gets to know all of the village's colourful and endearing residents and a host of other eccentric characters who make every day an education for the inexperienced young doctor. <p/>Ballybucklebo is a long way from Belfast, and Barry is quick to discover that he still has a lot to learn about country life. But with pluck and compassion, and only the slightest touch of blarney, he will find out more about life--and love--than he ever imagined back in medical school.</p> <p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br> <p>"Taylor is a bang-up storyteller who captivates and entertains from the first word." --<i>Publishers Weekly<br></i><br>"Quietly, almost surreptitiously, Patrick Taylor has become probably the most popular Irish-Canadian writer of all time." --<i>The Globe and Mail on Patrick Taylor</i> <p/>"Taylor masterfully charts the small victories and defeats of Irish village life." --<i>Irish American magazine</i> <p/>"With an unerring eye for detail, the talents of a natural storyteller, and the ability to pepper his anecdotes with large doses of wit and humor, Patrick Taylor has written a delightful novel." --<i>Calgary Herald on An Irish Country Doctor</i></p> <p/><br></br><p><b> About The Author </b></p></br></br> <p><b>Patrick Taylor, M.D.</b>, is the author of the Irish Country books, including <i>An Irish Country Village</i>, <i>An Irish Country Christmas</i>, <i>An Irish Country Girl</i>, and <i>An Irish Country Courtship</i>.
