Description
After Barry's first month as an assistant to crusty Dr. O'Reilly, he has been offered a permanent spot. But Laverty's excitement is dashed when one of his patients unexpectedly dies. The damage to his reputation is enormous, and he and O'Reilly must work to resolve the question of Barry's responsibility for the death.
They also have to figure out how to save the 400-year-old village pub. Plans are afoot to not renew the 100-year lease and instead transform the old pub into a sparkling new tourist trap. To make matters even worse, Patricia Spence, the love of Barry's life, announces she is trying to win a scholarship to distant Cambridge University, all the way in England.
Beautifully evocative of a gentler, simpler time, An Irish Country Village magically captures the charm, wit, and ribald humor of a vanished Irish countryside and its people.

Enjoyed it overall
Love the accents and characters and the village life stories. The narrator tends to “read” the book instead of acting the parts which is frustrating.

I Love This Series
A really upbeat book that is such a pleasant listen. I really enjoy hearing about the ups and downs of life in the village and all the wanderings out in the countryside. Quirky outlandish behavior exhibited by doctors and patients alike. A recommended series.

Such fun!
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Each character has his/her flaws and virtues and we truly care about each one. The main plot and all the smaller ones are suspenseful or entertaining or uplifting or just downright amusing. The narrator is tops. I highly recommend this book for its joyful approach to life.

Brilliant! A Lovely Read
Since my husband's family lives in Northern Ireland and I have visited many times, I could relate to the sayings and the manner of speaking. I started to check out airline tickets as soon as I was done! The time period was a few years ago but the basic life style is still there; not entirely gone. All the characters were precious in their own right. I plan to do a listen again. This book could not do itself justice by reading the print, but with Keating reading it the book just came to life.

A wonderful getaway
I loved this book. It wasn't hard to get into, the characters are warm and real. John Keating is the perfect narrator who gives the story a feeling of validity. If you want to curl up with a cup of tea and get away, this is it, as are the sequels.

John Keating is as enchanting as Jim Dale
If you could sum up An Irish Country Village in three words, what would they be?
Humorous! Engaging! Delightful!
Who was your favorite character and why?
I must admit to two. Fingal Flahertie O'Reilly is bluster on the outside and mush on the inside. I have never met a character as compassionate and altrustic as "Himself" - Fingal recognizes the dignity of every single person ; and, Donal Donnelly - shrewd and endearing and sometimes clueless.
What about John Keating’s performance did you like?
He totally captures the personality of the characters and gives the listeners an understanding of the Gaelic pronunciations. I feel like I am back in Ireland.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
James Herriot meets Fingal O'Reilly
Any additional comments?
I purchased this book in March. It is now May and I have purchased and listened to the entire series. Not since the Harry Potter series have I enjoyed books so much. The stories are compelling and tender and amusing. Keating's narration is spot on. I am homesick for Ballybucklebo at the end of each book.

An Irish Country Village
A delightful tale about 2 doctors in an Irish country village and the personalities who live within. I think we all know someone who lives here. Written with humour and beautifully narrated.

Wonderful
I fell in love with this series. It reminded me of James Herriots "All Things Bright and Beautiful" I hope there's more to come.
