You'll be glad you did' ***** 'This book is pure joy' Prima ______________ Eddie Winston is ninety years old. He has lived and he has loved, but he has never been kissed. A true gentleman and incurable romantic, Eddie spends his days volunteering at a charity shop, where he sorts through the donations of the living and the dead, preserving letters and tokens of love along the way. It is here that he meets Bella, a troubled young woman who, aged twenty-four, has just lost the love of her life. When Bella learns that Eddie is yet to have his first kiss, she resolves to help him finally find love, sparking an adventure that will take them to unexpected places and, they hope, bring Eddie to the moment he has waited for all his life. As Bella helps Eddie and Eddie helps, well, everyone, a soul-stirring story of friendship and kindness unfolds as we see how those we love are never forgotten and it is never too late to try again. ________ 'Brimming over with kindness and hope' Hazel Prior, author of Away with the Penguins 'Lives up to the brilliance of The One Hundred Years of Lenni & Margot and, dare I say it... surpasses it' Julietta Henderson Readers adore EDDIE WINSTON: 'Overflows with joy.

Rezensionen
"Cronin blends real-feeling characters and several emotionally rich plot lines in this British charmer that is a powerfully sweet ode to human connection in all forms." - Booklist (starred review)

"A winning tale of second chances." - Publishers Weekly

"One of those books that can make you feel a little better about humanity." - AARP Magazine

"The author of The One Hundred Years Of Lenni And Margot returns with another wonderfully joyful read." - Good Housekeeping, UK

"In Eddie Winston is Looking For Love, Marianne Cronin does a terrific job of balancing the divergent tones - the romance and tragedy of Bridie and Eddie's near-miss love story, and the comedy of Eddie and Bella's hijinks - to create a novel that feels abundant and intimate, messy and tragic, frustrating and joyful. Just like life." - Culturefly, UK

"A book that left us with a smile on our face!" - Bella (UK)

"This book was a pure joy. . . . A story of friendship, love, and discovering happiness." - Prima

"Uplifting." - Sainsbury's Magazine

"We don't have enough stories about nonagenarians. Or even octogenarians. Really, literature doesn't often feature protagonists past early retirement and it's a shame because once you've met Eddie, you'll want a lot more of it." - Anything Goes Lifestyle

"Warm, funny and life-affirming." - Fabulous

"The adventure of a lifetime." - Candis
