| Summary: | "In Ballybucklebo, Ireland, young doctor Barry, eagerly awaiting the arrival of his first child, and his fellow physicians, including a fledgling doctor, deal with a range of medical issues while still finding time to share the comforting joys and pleasures of this very special place."--Publisher. Young doctor Barry Laverty and his wife Sue are anxiously awaiting their first child, and the closing months of 1969 bring a fledgling doctor who joins the practice as a trainee. Will the very upper-class Sebastian Carson be a good fit for the rough and tumble of Irish country life? While the doctors deal with everything from brain surgery to a tractor accident to a difficult pregnancy, sectarian tensions rise elsewhere in Ulster. Can a Protestant man marry the Catholic woman he dearly loves, despite his fathers opposition? And who exactly is going to win the award for the best dandelion wine at this year's Harvest Festival? -- adapted from jacket |
