Irish Country #3
An Irish Country Christmas: A Novel
Patrick Taylor, John Keating (Reader)
Not so much a Christmas Story as the continuing trials of a country doctor in winter.
I did learn that doctors bill the state medical system for their services so paperwork but they don't have to extract payment from their patients which means for many visiting the doctor is a social call.
Doctor Barry's girlfriend took a scholarship to Cambridge and her decision not to come home for Christmas causes much strife. By waiting until the last minute to book passage she made a passive decision.
And this volume ends with the local gentry's Xmas Open House.
