A brand-new look for the New York Times, USA Today, and Globe and Mail bestselling series!Doctor Fingal O'Reilly is the quarrelsome general practitioner in the quaint Irish village of Ballybucklebo. His pugnacious personality is matched only by his aggressive care for his patients - but he wasn't always the man he is today. Beloved author Patrick Taylor turns back the clock to give us a portrait of the young Fingal - and show us the pivotal events that shaped the man he would become.In the 1930s, fresh from a stint in the Royal Navy Reserve, and against the wishes of his disapproving father, Fingal O'Reilly goes to Dublin to study medicine. Fingal and his fellow aspiring doctors face the arduous demands of Trinity College and Sir Patrick Dun's Hospital. The hours are long and the cases challenging, but Fingal manages to find time to box and play rugby - and to romance a fetching, gray-eyed nurse named Kitty O'Hallorhan.Dublin is a harsh city, where brutal poverty breeds diseases that the limited medical knowledge of the time is often ill-equipped to handle. His teachers warn Fingal not to become too attached to his patients, but can he truly harden himself to the suffering he sees all around him - or can he find a way to care for his patients without breaking his heart?A Dublin Student Doctor is a moving, deeply human story that will touch longtime fans as well as readers who are meeting Doctor Fingal O'Reilly for the very first time.
