Funny, feelgood, heartlifting story about the power of intergenerational friendship and finding love in unexpected places - perfect for fans of The One Hundred Year-Old Man Who Climbed Through the Window and The Rosie Project

Eddie Winston is 90 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. And it is here that he meets Bella, a troubled young woman who, at twenty-four years old, 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.

A tale of friendship and kindness that reminds us that those we love are never forgotten and it is never too late to try again.

As Bella helps Eddie and Eddie helps, well, everyone, an astonishing, soul-stirring story unfolds to show how those we love are never forgotten and it is never too late to try again.

Critic Reviews

An incredibly gorgeous story about an unconventional friendship and a late-life but enduring love. Marianne Cronin creates such complete and lovable characters, and these pages are brimming over with kindness and hope. We all need Eddie Winston in our lives! Sublimely enjoyable.
Marianne Cronin has lived up to the brilliance of The One Hundred Years of Lenni & Margot and, dare I say it… surpassed even that. The characters (including the supporting cast) are real and vulnerable, the story is funny and captivating and the writing is faultless
This book was pure joy . . . A story of friendship, love and discovering happiness
A book that left us with a smile on our face!
[A] wonderfully joyful read.
Uplifting
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.
A winning tale of second chances
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
One of those books that can make you feel a little better about humanity
