This book takes place in a small fictional village in Northern Ireland called Ballybucklebo. A doctor and his assistant doctor take care of the ills and woes of the village. That's mostly what happens.
Funny stuff happens (one man fleeces an Englishman by selling him an Irish coin of small value but with a horse on it by telling him it's a commemorative coin with some special horse on it).
It starts out rocky for the assistant doctor, Barry Laverty. A patient he helped has died of something medical. He needs some help to make sure the villagers will continue to trust him. Laverty also falls in love during the course of this book.
I liked this book because it was funny and sweet and a quiet book. It was perfect for a rainy day of pleasure reading
