{"product_id":"9780765320735","title":"An Irish Country Girl","description":"\u003cp\u003eReaders 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Forge","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49111162192099,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0764\/3758\/6147\/files\/9780765320735-1.jpg?v=1788351529","url":"https:\/\/usa.kinokuniya.com\/products\/9780765320735","provider":"Books Kinokuniya USA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
