Those plans were complicated by the outbreak of World War II and the call of duty. Assigned to the HMS \u003ci\u003eWarspite\u003c\/i\u003e, a formidable 30,000-ton battleship, Surgeon Lieutenant O'Reilly soon found himself face-to-face with the hardships of war, tending to the dreadnought's crew of 1,200 as well as to the many casualties brought aboard. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLife in Ballybuckebo is a far cry from the strife of war, but over two decades later O'Reilly and his younger colleagues still have plenty of challenges: an outbreak of German measles, the odd tropical disease, a hard-fought pie-baking contest, and a local man 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eShifting deftly between two very different eras, Patrick Taylor's latest Irish Country novel reveals more about O'Reilly's tumultuous past, even as Ballybucklebo faces the future in its own singular fashion.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Forge Books","offers":[{"title":"Irish Doctor in Peace and at War: An Irish Country Novel | Patrick Taylor | Paperback | 9780765338372 | Used: Very Good | Fiction 1742045 (temp: 17)","offer_id":48168988573848,"sku":"1742045","price":7.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/81GzbySy_OL.jpg?v=1771983449","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/irish-doctor-in-peace-and-at-war-an-irish-country-novel","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
