Below is a summation of the members' reactions to this work.
Fingal O'Reilly, Irish Doctor is the ninth title in the Irish Country series by Patrick Taylor. This title focuses on the medical practice over the years of Fingal O'Reilly, who came to the Irish village in the country straight from medical school. The book flips back and forth in time between present day 1950s Ireland and the past when Fingal first began practicing in the village. Many of the characters are present in the other books in the series and, although this can be read as a stand-alone title, reading the series in order will probably enhance the reader's experience.
The group discussed the various changes in medicine revealed by the cases described and some of the differences in medicine between Ireland and the United States. The rest of the discussion focused on the various characters and their relationships to each other. All the members found the book enjoyable and several said they planned to go back and read other titles in the series. At least one member had already read the previous titles and noted that she enjoys the series.
