I'm not sure if this belongs here or maybe on the Historical Fiction forum but I thought I'd start here. Is anyone familiar with this book by Patrick Taylor? What did you think of it?

I've not read it.  It sounds good, though.

I saw it at Target and was going to buy it (this was before PBS).  Now it's on my reminder list.

Wow.  I posted this thread such a long time ago that I'd forgotten about it.  I did buy the book as well as the second one, An Irish Country Village, but they are languishing in my "pile".

I too, like novels set in Ireland so I should probably dust these off and give them a read!

I have read it and really enjoyed it!  The characters were very endearing and the story moved quickly.  I have an Irish Country Village on my wishlist - I am looking forward to getting and reading it!

After reading this thread I went to the library and picked it up. What a great find. Thanks for sharing.

I read An Irish Country Doctor a few weeks ago and just yesterday picked up An Irish Country Village from the library.  I liked the first one a lot--it reminded me very much of the James Herriot series All Things Bright and Beautiful, etc, that I enjoyed years ago.

One my most favorite books of all time is All Things Great and Small by James Herriot.

I remember my mother read these back in the 70s, so a couple years ago I purchased All Things... and loved it. I had to get the second book right away. Even paid full price for a MMPB. I hate paying full price and I hate MMPBs, but this was James Herriot. Another surprise is that  I picked up so much vocabulary from the series.

So now I'll have to go check out Irish Country Doctor. I love books set in Ireland.

Thanks for the recommendation, ladies

There is also "An Irish Country Christmas" that is part of this series.  I love the James Herriot books, so I'm looking forward to reading all 3 of these by Patrick Taylor.
