Über diesen Titel

Welcome to the Village of Ballybucklebo. Come and say hello to Dr. O'Reilly's odd-as-two-left feet patients, his housekeeper, Mrs. "Kinky" Kinkaid, and O'Reilly's pets, Arthur Guinness, the beer-swilling black Lab and Lady MacBeth, the demonically possessed white cat. And of course, to young Dr. Barry Laverty. After Barry's first month as an assistant to crusty Dr. O'Reilly, he has been offered a permanent spot. But Laverty's excitement is dashed when one of his patients unexpectedly dies. The damage to his reputation is enormous, and he and O'Reilly must work to resolve the question of Barry's responsibility for the death. They also have to figure out how to save the four-hundred-year-old village pub. Plans are afoot to not renew the hundred-year lease and instead transform the old pub into a sparkling new tourist trap. To make matters even worse, Patricia Spence, the love of Barry's life, announces she is trying to win a scholarship to distant Cambridge University, all the way in England.... Beautifully evocative of a gentler, simpler time, Patrick Taylor's An Irish Country Village magically captures the charm, wit, and ribald humor of a vanished Irish countryside and its people.

Kritikerstimmen

<p>“So, have a wee listen to Patrick Taylor's sequel to <i>An Irish Country Doctor </i>and if you're not charmed by the lives, loves and longings of the feisty folks of Ballybucklebo, County Ulster, Northern Ireland, I'll eat my hat, so I will. Read in a beguiling brogue by John Keating...Taylor peoples thatched-roofed Ballybucklebo with quirky characters...'Tis a grand place, one I hope we'll have many occasions to revisit.” —<i>BookPage</i><br><br>““At last! Here is an authentic Northern Ireland voice. A full cupboard of delightful characters, both human and animal, enrich every page. Quirky, funny, and deeply moving by turns, Taylor’s writing perfectly captures the language and character of Ulster in times gone by.” —Morgan Llywelyn, New York Times bestselling author of The Last Prince of Ireland, on An Irish Country Doctor<br><br>“Taylor's novel makes for escapist, delightful fun.” —<i>Publishers Weekly on An Irish Country Doctor</i><br><br>“Patrick Taylor, M.D., is a man of words and he is a healing physician, too....A grand read from a grand man.” —<i>Malachy McCourt, New York Times bestselling author of A Monk Swimming, on An Irish Country Doctor</i><br><br>“Ballybucklebo is an easy place for readers to sink into, with likable characters and atmospheric dialogue.” —<i>Kirkus Reviews on An Irish Country Doctor</i></p>

Very charming, heartwarming tale of the Ireland long gone. I did love the northern Irish accent, the pace and the passion the narrator is displaying.

Certainly are really nice audio for a rainy weekend.

Sure those times are gone

This book starts immediately after the first volume (An Irish Country Doctor) and is equally enjoyable. Sometimes a bit over the top with the description of minor acts the story itself develops beautifully. The characters resemble a mixture of original characters that one would probably not find in reality. Rural life in 1964 has a slower pace than now and the people seem approachable. Excerpts of human behaviour make this book amusing and entertaining.
There are generosity and revenge, new medical practices, lawsuits against doctors as a new form of sport, longing for not yet existing mobile phones, friendship, horse races, salmon rights, blackmail, love and anxiety to be found. Above all the story has a warm tone and you feel like curling up on a comfortable armchair in front of a fireplace to listen to this audio book.
There is a thin line between charm and kitsch and the author manages beautifully to stay on the interesting and readable side.
The Narrator reads the Northern Irish accent quite well and it sounds fairly authentic. I also loved the short interview with the author at the end.
<strong>Result: enjoyable and recommended.</strong>

Charmingly Entertaining
