What to expect

'A fresh, original love story, beautifully told.' RUTH HOGAN, author of The Keeper of Lost Things

After 50 years together Stan still adores his wife... so why is he dating again?

Bonnie and Stan are soulmates. They met during the Swinging Sixties, to the soundtrack of The Beatles and the Merseybeat scene. Now they've grown up and grown old together, had children and grandchildren. They are finally building their dream home, when disaster strikes.

Stan is running out of time, and can't bear the thought of leaving Bonnie alone. Alongside his teenage granddaughter Greya, he forms a plan to find Bonnie a new love of her life. And she must never find out...

Bonnie & Stan is a poignant, surprising love story set during the Swinging Sixties and the present day. Ultimately feel-good and full of emotion, Bonnie & Stan will make your heart sing.

Critics Review

It's a total charmer, so sad but sweet and uplifting, staying with me long after I'd read it. I really enjoyed the sentiment that love stays with you after someone has gone, the feeling of reading it and it ending was the same.
Laura Kemp, author of BRING ME SUNSHINE
Sweet, funny, heartbreaking and uplifting.
Rachael Lucas, author of FINDING HOPE AT HILLSIDE FARM
I sobbed my way through this read. Heartbreaking yet funny, clever and life-affirming too.
Caroline Smailes, author of THE DROWNING OF ARTHUR BRAXTON
Full of heart, wit and rock and roll Bonnie and Stan is an uplifting joy to read. I highly recommend it.
Katie Marsh, author of THE REST OF ME
Warm, thought-provoking and unexpected - Bonnie and Stan is an uplifting reminder of the enduring power of true love.
Isabel Ashdown, author of LAKE CHILD
