I was really looking forward to the next installment in this series -- but this isn't that. It's more of an alternative history rewrite of Christmas 1965 -- 5 years previous than I was hoping for, and with some weird errors. At one point, Fingal was re-reading his letters to Kitty and I started to wonder if the author was mocking us -- I've never seen anyone beat a metaphor to death to quite this extent -- it's quite an achievement, really, but it's also tiresome. The book is a whole lot of mystifying, and I stopped reading so that I don't get confused -- I quite liked the storyline I was on. ( ) This delightful novella takes the reader on a nostalgic trip to Ireland over Christmas in the 1960s. Dr. Barry Laverty returns to the practice at #1 Main Street, after completing his training in OB/GYN. Dr. Fingal O'Reilly celebrates his first Christmas married to the lovely nurse, Kitty. The entire village of Ballybuckleboo gathers for a holiday celebration, where they meet a long lost brother of the Marquis of Ballybuckleboo, who's return adds some family drama to the holidays. This enjoyable story will help get any reader ready for the holidays. näyttää 2/2 ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu

"A charming Christmas entry in Patrick Taylor's beloved internationally bestselling Irish Country series, An Irish Country Yuletide. December 1965. 'Tis the season once again in the cozy Irish village of Ballybucklebo, which means that Doctor Fingal Flahertie O'Reilly, his young colleague Barry Laverty, and their assorted friends, neighbors, and patients are enjoying all their favorite holiday traditions: caroling, trimming the tree, finding the perfects gifts for their near and dear ones, and anticipating a proper Yuletide feast complete with roast turkey and chestnut stuffing. There's even the promise of snow in the air, raising the prospect of a white Christmas. Not that trouble has entirely taken a holiday as the season brings its fair share of challenges as well, including a black-sheep brother hoping to reconcile with his estranged family before it's too late, a worrisome outbreak of chickenpox, and a sick little girl whose faith in Christmas is in danger of being crushed in the worst way. As roaring fireplaces combat the brisk December chill, it's up to O'Reilly to play Santa, both literally and figuratively, to make sure that Ballybucklebo has a Christmas it will never forget! Bonus: This heartwarming Yuletide tale also includes several mouth-watering recipes, straight from an Irish country kitchen"-- Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |
