Synopsis

"An entertaining plot, fascinating characters, lots of humour and warmth make Patrick Taylor’s 'Irish Country' books enjoyable reads - or listens. This audio book, like the others, is expertly read by John Keating." - Toronto.com

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 perfect 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!

My husband loves this series and the Christmas entry looked perfect for the season for me and it was. What could be better than an old world story set in the early 1960s in a place called Ballybuckkebo. If you want a cozy Christmas story that isn’t too-too you will probably like this one.......more

I really enjoy books set in Ireland and to have it take place at Christmas time just adds another bonus layer to it. It's 1965 in Ballybucklebo and the first Christmas as man and wife for Dr Fingal Flahertie O’Reillyand his wife. He has a general practice in the village and plenty of illnesses come k......more

For avid fans of the series only! We're jumping a few years back to learn that the Marquess of Ballybucklebo has a brother who's left Ireland in disgrace decades ago. Lady Mirna cannot forgive his past indiscretions. He is now coming back with a very grim medical diagnosis and, of course, Dr. O'Reil......more
