Publisher's Synopsis
The moving but hilarious story of three generations of an unforgettable family... Queenie Boyle has not had an easy life. She opened a shop in Abbeyville after her hasty marriage to a soldier who was returned to her after the war, but was never quite right afterwards. Her daughter Lorraine ran off with the lion tamer from the circus, who died tragically. Well, that was what she told everyone when Lorraine came back to Ireland with baby Billy. Now Lorraine's daughter Olivia is to marry Barry Breslin - a proper white wedding. What they don't know is that Olivia is about to meet Lorenzo O'Brien, and things are going to go wildly wrong!
