About book Home Is The Sailor: An Irish Country Doctor Story (2013)

A very, very short story about Dr. O'Reilly coming home from WW II and trying to establish his medical practice. This story has the warmth that all the Irish Country Doctor stories have. As well as presenting the problems of starting a practice, this short story introduces many of the infamous personalities in the town, as well as the beloved Kinky Kincaid, housekeeper and cook extraordinaire for the Dear Doctors. Typical Irish Country Doctor Story. Funny, poignant, historical, story of small town life with wonderful recurring characters. Series must be read in order, so don't start with this one. If you have read others in the series, this is like the others, so no more needs to be said. The series is great for audio book. Great Irish accents and slang usage. This book gets 4 stars instead of 5 because it was too short. Patrick Taylor needs to write more, and much faster.
