"Long before Dr. Fingal Flahertie O'Reilly came to the colorful Irish village of Ballybucklebo, young Surgeon-lieutenant O'Reilly answered the call of duty to serve in World War II. Fingal just wants to marry his beloved Deirdre and live happily every after. First he must hone his skills at a British naval hospital before reporting back to the HMS Warspite, where, as a ship's doctor, he faces danger upon the high seas...
"Decades later, the war is long over, and O'Reilly is content to mend the bodies and souls of his patients in Ballybucklebo...
"Shifting effortlessly between two singular eras, bestselling author Patrick Taylor continues the story of O'Reilly's wartime experiences, while vividly bringing the daily joys and struggles of Ballybucklebo to life once more." --from the publisher
I love this series and the people and places seem so real to me. That said, this book was just too long. Heavy sigh. It needed fewer words or more action.
