Fingus O'Reilly is up in Belfast purchasing an engagement ring with his
fiancé Kitty O'Hallorhan while his young protégé, Barry Laverty is back
home in Ballybucklebo where their housekeeper Kinky Kincaid has come
down with severe abdominal pain. Laverty rushes her to the hospital in
Belfast via ambulance.
Fortunately for the two doctors, ladies in
the community bring them meals because they figure that the doctors
will not know how to cook a meal for themselves. However, after having
surgery, Kinky takes a turn for the worse. However, the wonder of drugs
helps Kinky to recover, but she is lacking spirit, so Fingus asks her
to plan his wedding.
As the wedding plans get underway, Barry
finds himself thinking of the future as he plans to study gynaecology.
His thoughts are also confused by a new interest, the school mistress,
Sue Nolan. Meantime, both Barry and Fingal continue to do good works in
the Balleybucklebo community.
Author Patrick Taylor has the
reader smiling throughout this continuing story of a rural Irish doctor,
and leaves you looking forward to the next in the series. Thoroughly
enjoyable.
