Summary:
Long before Doctor Fingla Flahertie O'Reilly became a fixture in the colourful Irish village of Ballybucklebo, he was a young M.B. with plans to marry his sweetheart, Deirdre Mawhinney. But those dreams were complicated by World War II. Assigned to a formidable thirty-thousand-ton battleship, Surgeon Lieutenant O'Reilly soon finds himself face-to-face with the horrors of war. Also a struggle: remaining true to his beloved Deirdre despite temptations abroad... More than two decades later, life in Ballybucklebo is a far cry from the strife of war, but O'Reilly and his younger colleagues still have plenty of challenges on their hands, including an outbreak of German measles, the odd tropical disease, a hard-fought pie-baking contest, and a local father whose mule-headed adherence to tradition is standing in the way of his son's future. Now older and wiser, O'Reilly has prescriptions for whatever ails...until a secret from the past threatens to unravel his own peace of mind.
