What We're Listening To: Cathy

An Irish Country Girl by Patrick Taylor

Those who have read or listened to the other books by Patrick Taylor about Ballybucklebo and its two doctors (An Irish Country Doctor, An Irish Country Village, and An Irish Country Christmas), have also come to know their housekeeper Kinky Kincaid as a friendly and efficient part of the household. This book is her story. The story of growing up on a farm in Cork in the 1920's. Her struggle to have a better life than most of the women around her despite the attitudes of the time towards working wives. And this is the story of how Maureen O'Hanlon met Paudeen Kincaid. It's a great Irish story that includes ghosts and the shee and the sight - and tragedy. With the audio version, of course, you get to hear the story told in that wonderful Irish Cork accent, so.
