An Irish Country village Young Doctor Barry Laverty has only just begun his assistantship
under his eccentric mentor, Dr. Fingal Flahertie O’Reilly, but
he already feels right at home in Ballybucklebo. When the sudden death
of a patient casts a cloud over Barry’s reputation, his chances
of establishing himself in the village are endangered, especially since
the grieving widow is threatening a lawsuit. While he anxiously waits
for the post-mortem results that he prays will exonerate him, Barry
must regain the trust of the gossipy Ulster village, one patient at
a time. But not all their challenges are medical in nature. When a greedy
developer sets his sights on the very heart of the community, the village
pub, it’s up to the doctors to save the Black Swan (fondly known
as “The Mucky Duck”) from being turned into an overpriced
tourist trap. After all, the good citizens of Ballybucklebo need somewhere
to drink each other’s health An Irish Country Village is available in
Hard back, large print, trade paper, and audio formats. | ![]() |
