Barry Laverty, M.B., is looking forward to his first Christmas in the cozy village of Ballybucklebo, at least until he learns that his sweetheart, Patricia, might not be coming home for the holidays.

This is one more in a series of Irish country books. I've not read the others but I hope to. It's warm, comforting flavor is like cuddling up in a warm blanket on a winter night. A young doctor has partnered with a seasoned one in a small village. As the story unfolds we watch the new doc learning the finer points of personal doctoring. One would likely have to be over 80 to remember when this type of medicine was actually practiced but it's a delightful antidote for the chaos of our current health care system.

Wow, what a treasure when i found this series. I could not wait to read the first book and now i have read them all but one and that is on my wish list. The Irish Country books are so warm, charming,quirky,fun and interesting, it is hard to lay them down. You have to find just the right spot to stop and sometimes that takes hours. This is the Christmas book and so great because of the time of the year. Anyone one of these books are wonderful and sure not to dissappoint, but i really liked reading this one now with winter coming on. You will fall in love with the senior doc and the younger doc, the patients,the girlfriend Patricia, and the customs of Ireland are so special. Right down to the muddy paths they walk--i love all of it.

I loved this book! I have loved all the books in Patrick Taylor's series about the life of 2 doctors during the 60's in Balleybucklebo, a fictional village in Northern Ireland. Taylor paints a verbal picture of the village and its inhabitants, which makes the reader feel a part of it all. I recommend this book highly.

i just LOVED this book. it isn't just that it was set at christmas and really reinforced that wonderful season of the year, the characters are very endearing and the book is well written.

this isn't just a cheap "vacation read" that is passable - this is extremely well written, great dialogue and characters. i love getting to "know" the village and all their inhabitants, the quirkiness that comes out in all those people, and how true to life it all is.

if you want a positive, lovely, and wonderful book this is it.

Loved the first two books but the series is running out of steam for me!

James Herriot and PG Wodehouse visit N. Ireland in the era before The Troubles. Nostalgic memories of a time I barely remember.

Patrick Taylor makes me think of a James Herriot in Ireland 27 years later. His love of the people, the countryside and the practice of medicine burst off the pages of the book.
