Home Is the Sailor

An Irish Country Doctor Story

De: Patrick Taylor

Fans of Patrick Taylor's bestselling Irish Country novels know Dr. Fingal Flahertie O'Reilly as the irascible senior partner of a general practice in the colourful Irish village of Ballybucklebo.

Reseñas de la Crítica

<p>“What Herriot did for Yorkshire, Taylor does for Northern Ireland . . . minus the animals, of course, but with all the good sentiments.” —<i>Kirkus Reviews on An Irish Country Wedding</i><br><br>“Taylor is a bang-up storyteller who captivates and entertains from the first word.” —<i>Publishers Weekly on An Irish Country Girl</i><br><br>“The author laces his heartwarming moments with liberal doses of whiskey and colourful Ulster invectives.” —<i>Chicago Sun-Times</i><br><br>“Patrick Taylor has become probably the most popular Irish-Canadian writer of all time.” —<i>The Globe and Mail</i></p>

Very good

Good story of O'Reilly coming back to buy the doctors business of the late doctors practice. Gets right into to the series of books

Need More

I Love all these books. My complaint is always the same... why isn't it longer. These books are like putting on your favorite sweater. warm comfortable happy!

Enjoyable

Enjoyable continuation of the series. very good story and narration. highly recommend the entire series!

Thumbs Up

Ya gotta love this series, especially if you have even a drop of Irish blood.

ambivalent

I've listened to other books in this series - with another narrator. This Irish narration seems a little stained. The bit of British narration was better. I am hoping for improvement in subsequent books.

Charming Irish tale

A charming tale of a brusque Irish doctor, his resourceful housekeeper Mrs. "Kinky" Kincaid, and the various characters who liven the little village of Ballybucklebo in Northern Ireland. The lilting language alone would make the story worth a listen.

light hearted & fun short story

Enjoyed it, left me smiling. Narration was fun and understandable. Characters were classic. I would love to listen to a series based on this story.

Short but needed

What did you love best about Home Is the Sailor?

It provided a little more background

Any additional comments?

At first I thought oh a short after thought, but I was wrong. I would purchase this again to add more background for the series. Thank you for writing this.

Wonderful!

I loved this presentation and the story is unforgettable! What a great way to start Patrick Taylor's series.

Irish love
