Perfect for you if...

  • You appreciate character-driven stories where the emotional core matters more than plot twists.

  • You find whimsy or sentimentality cloying rather than moving.

About this book

Marianne Cronin, author of The One Hundred Years of Lenni and Margot, returns with a contemporary fiction novel about friendship and finding love in unexpected places. Eddie Winston is 90 years old. He has lived and loved, but has never been kissed. A gentleman and romantic, Eddie volunteers at a charity shop, sorting through donations and preserving letters and tokens of love. There he meets Bella, a 24-year-old woman who has recently lost the love of her life. Their meeting sparks an intergenerational friendship. When Bella learns that Eddie has never experienced his first kiss, she sets out to help him find love. Together they embark on a quest for a later-in-life romance, traveling to unexpected places in hopes of bringing Eddie to the moment he has long awaited. The novel explores themes of friendship and kindness, suggesting that those we love are never forgotten and that it is never too late to try again.
