Irish Country #2
An Irish Country Village
Patrick Taylor (Reading), John Keating (Narrator)
The parallels with James Heriot's All Creatures Great and Small are palpable. The fact that the patients here can talk is often misleading and unhelpful. The stories are presented with self-deprecating candour and folksy humour.
A doctor who does house calls.
Although mention is made of Barry's Salary of £35 a week none is made of how Dr. O'Reilly handles billing his patients.
Barry is on tenderhooks the entire novel for the results of a post mortem that would exonerate him in the death of a patient.
And since everyone loves a wedding a pair who have waited 15 years tie the not. The reception takes place outdoors and includes a donkey, 6 dogs, a whole roast pig, an open bar, and an announcement by the local Grinch that the Mucky Duck is saved.
