Eddie Winston Is Looking for Love

An incredibly gorgeous story about an unconventional friendship and a late-life but enduring love.

Sublimely enjoyable. * HAZEL PRIOR, author of AWAY WITH THE PENGUINS *
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 * JULIETTA HENDERSON, author of The Funny Thing about Norman Foreman *
This book was pure joy … A story of friendship, love and discovering happiness * PRIMA *

Uplifting * SAINSBURY’S MAGAZINE *
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 *
A winning tale of second chances * PUBLISHERS WEEKLY *
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 *
One of those books that can make you feel a little better about humanity * AARP Magazine *
