Description

The author of the beloved international hit The One Hundred Years of Lenni and Margot returns with a funny, uplifting story about the power of friendship and finding love in unexpected places.

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 24 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 Eddie Winston finally find love, sparking an adventure that will take them to unexpected places and, they hope, bring Eddie Winston 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.

Critical Reviews

"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

"A sweetly romantic read that makes you believe it's never too late to open your heart." -- People

"An entertaining story filled with all good things--friendship, honor, generosity, humor and, yes, love." -- Minneapolis Star Tribune

"A tale about the power of kindness, friendship and following your heart." -- Woman's World

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

"Cronin has done it again with this celebratory marvel of a novel. Eddie Winston is Looking for Love is an instant favorite with this reviewer and a book destined to be read again. It is like Frances Hodgson Burnett's The Secret Garden for grown-ups and is a perfect love match for book clubs and would make a marvelous feature film." -- BookTrib

"Chock full of humor and beautiful characters, Eddie Winston Is Looking for Love is a gem from start to finish." -- The Buzz Magazines

"The perfect, sweet read for the end of the year. Eddie Winston Is Looking for Love is a funny, uplifting story about the power of friendship and the ability to find love in unexpected places." -- Geek Girl Authority

"A true joy of a book to read." -- Red Carpet Crash

"A funny, uplifting story about the power of friendship and finding love in unexpected places." -- NerdDaily

"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
