{"product_id":"irish-country-girl-p-b-z16","title":"Patrick Taylor: An Irish Country Girl [2011] paperback","description":"Readers of Patrick Taylor's books know Mrs. Kinky Kincaid as the unflappable housekeeper who looks after two frequently frazzled town doctors in the colourful Irish village of Ballybucklebo. A trusted fixture in the lives of those around her, 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 O'Hanlon, a farmer's 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.","brand":"Taylor, Patrick","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":42042733625529,"sku":"9780765320735","price":4.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/files\/taylor-patrick-patrick-taylor-an-irish-country-girl-2011-paperback-9780765320735-59524013162835.jpg?v=1729148703","url":"https:\/\/keatsandchapman.info\/products\/irish-country-girl-p-b-z16","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
