Dr. Fingal Flahertie O'Reilly is back from his honeymoon and seeing patients in his surgery. He and Kitty, after their long separation, are adjusting to married life in the village of Ballybucklebo, Ireland. The irascible Dr. O'Reilly hasn't changed, though, still butting heads with patients who object to women doctors, bull-headed councilors, and questionable dog-race tactics. And every new case seems to remind him of his time in Dublin as a brand-new doctor in a dispensary clinic working with the poor. Present-day Colin's foot injury reminds him of the 1930s wound on Dermot, who would have lost his foot but for Dr. "Big Fellah's" use of an experimental antibiotic, and more. Also, there are the memories of his courtship and loss of young Kitty. The novel is charming, full of Irish wit and wisdom (don't worry, there is a glossary) and, of course, all the village characters we've come to love. For those just discovering the Irish doctor, this book can stand on its own, but it will leave the reader wanting more. Copyright 2013 Booklist Reviews.
