An Irish Country Village is a sequel to An Irish Country Doctor (see previous post), but it’s not necessary to read them both or in order. Many of the same characters as in the first book return, we just get to know them a little better. The story moves along with great descriptions of the clothes, cars, music and values of the era. A bit of nostalgia with a few Irish recipes thrown in.

An Irish Country Doctor is a lovely story about a young doctor, just starting in practice with an older general practitioner. About life in a small village in Northern Ireland during the early 1960’s. It was very enjoyable and relaxing to read, with great descriptions of the various characters, as well as beautiful scenic descriptions. Absolutely worth reading, especially if you have an interest in Ireland, or even if you don’t. Refreshingly, not a mention of the troubles.
