An Irish Country Village
Patrick Taylor, MD

Actually bought this book a year ago knowing full well I'd eventually want to read it. Now is that time.

Snugged into bed a couple nights ago...put some old Irish folk songs on cd player...and dug into this charming read. This is Patrick Taylor trademark style: feel it, see it, smell it, and of course...taste it! This is an eavesdropping escape into the world of an Irish doctor and his community. Patrick Taylor is a G.P. by trade, and the medical dialog shared in this novel exemplify this.

I don't know if there is a nicer way to travel, short of the real thing.... Patrick taylor has at least 2 other books on the Irish culture theme: "An Irish Country Doctor", and "An Irish Country Christmas".

No crowded coach-class transport necessary for a fine little visit to the Emerald Isle!
