For those times life seems all too cold and harsh, Patrick Taylor offers the perfect antidote in An Irish Country Doctor. The story is set in the idylic rural Northern Irish town of Balybucklebo, where things always turn out well for the dozen characters we come to know and love. It revolves around Barry Laverty, a young physician who comes to the remote town to work with the town's revered family doctor. The characters are one-dimensional, predictable, and all too good to be true. You'll have no trouble closing the book when it's time for bed. But if a charming escape is what you're after, Taylor's Irish yarn can't be beat.
