Book Review: Eddie Winston Is Looking for Love by Marianne Cronin
Rating: 4.5⭐ Having read and loved The One Hundred Years of Lenni and Margot by Marianne Cronin , I was eagerly looking forward to her most recent novel and I’m glad to say that Eddie Winston Is Looking for Love did not disappoint! Ninety-year-old retired academic Eddie Winston spends his days sorting through donations at The Heart Trust Charity Shop, where he volunteers. As he goes through boxes of donations both from those who visit the shop personally or items collected from the estates of the deceased, he endeavors to gain a deeper understanding of the lives of the original owners.
