Everything fits nicely together in the end. Connections are revealed, with a small smile at the convince of it all and no loose end is left untied. The low points are even uplifting in the knowledge that while young Dr. Laverty might have made a few mistakes he did everything he could and no one dies. An Irish Country Doctor is light reading in the fact that there is nothing depressing or horribly sad to weigh down your emotions.
I have a huge love of books that transport. I want to go places and see things that are out of the ordinary (at least out of the ordinary for me). I want an experience. I want entertainment. I want a good read. An Irish Country Doctor, while it isn’t James Herriot like I had hoped, delivers. Patrick Taylor captures the life in a rural village, the characters and dialect, and gives you a book that is enjoyable. So much so that you won’t want it to end and it doesn’t have to. The story continues with An Irish Country Village.
