Description: Boyne is back! From the author of Irish Wine comes the return of the bawdy, boisterous Seamus Boyne. Now middle-aged and at the height of his celebrity, Boyne is a world-renowned painter, and ladies' man of heroic proportions. Madly in love with life, he stages his own death to escape the burdens of fame.

When his estranged 17-year-old daughter, Tory, hears of her father's death, she defies her mother and travels from New York to Ireland to attend his funeral, setting in motion a rollicking misadventure of kidnapping and mistaken identity. Boyne's Lassie is a hilarious, picaresque romp through the back alleys, bedrooms and moldering castles of the Irish countryside.
