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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In the 1930s, fresh from a stint in the Royal Navy Reserve, and against the wishes of his disapproving father, Fingal O'Reilly arrives in Dublin to study medicine. The hours he dedicates to Trinity College and Sir Patrick Dun’s Hospital are long and arduous, but Fingal manages to find time to box and play rugby—and to romance a fetching, gray-eyed nurse named Kitty O'Hallorhan.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 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 own heart?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Patrick Taylor (CA)","offers":[{"title":"Tor\/Forge |  Paperback \/ softback | Trade paperback (US) |  2024-03-12","offer_id":44652723306751,"sku":"9781250332172","price":24.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0329\/9075\/7001\/files\/BNCImageAPI_891a736b-00f1-4c10-bb5e-5b27094c7dbb.jpg?v=1704315034","url":"https:\/\/riverbookshop.com\/products\/9781250332172","provider":"River Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
