دختر روستایی ایرلندی: رمان (کتاب‌های روستایی ایرلندی)

Overview:The author Patrick Taylor divides his time between Canada and Ireland. Taylor is a physician and distinguished medical research worker, off-shore sailor, model boat-builder and seannachie. Readers of Patrick Taylors books know Mrs. Kinky Kincaid as the unflappable housekeeper who looks after two frequently frazzleddoctors in the colourful Irish village of Ballybucklebo. She is a trusted fixture in the lives of those around her, and it often seems as though Kinky has always been there. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Some forty-odd years before and many miles to the south, the girl who would someday be Kinky Kincaid was Maureen OHanlon, a farmers daughter growing up in the emerald hills and glens of County Cork. A precocious girl on the cusp of womanhood, Maureen has a head full of dreams, a heart open to romance, and something more: a gift for seeing beyond the ordinary into the mystic realm of fairies, spirits, and even the dreaded Banshee, whose terrifying wail she first hears on a snowy night in 1922.... As she grows into a young woman, Maureen finds herself torn between love and her fondest aspirations, for the future is a mystery even for one blessed with the sight. Encountering both joy and sorrow, Maureen at last finds herself on the road to Ballybucklebo---and the strong and compassionate woman she was always destined to become. An Irish Country Girl is another captivating tale by Patrick Taylor, a true Irish storyteller.
