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.
Bonnie and Stan is a fantastic, nostalgic read that, although it does feature a character who is dying, is a beautiful book that celebrates romance and the need for a man to protect his wife long after his own death.
Bonnie and Stan is a celebration of love and which started in the Swinging Sixties in Liverpool and is a celebration of the era. There is a nostalgia within the writing as Anna celebrates the famous music scene and there are lots of great memories that will resonate with the reader. Anna has included lots of small details within the book and it is great to read about the Cavern Club and other areas of Liverpool.
I really liked both Bonnie and Stan, a couple who have been together for 50 years and are still in love with each other. They reminded me of my grandparents, a generation where couples stay together and ride the roller coaster of life, taking each high and low together and attacking life. Stan is a very proud man and protects his lady to the end.
Although the book does address a relationship where one is dying, I found the book to be a celebration and a happy read. There are times of sadness and memories but I found myself smiling while reading the book, not tears down my face.
Thank you to the publishers, Trapeze Books, and to Compulsive Readers, for inviting me to take part in the blog tour and for a copy of the book in return for am honest review.
