Bonnie & Stan-Anna Stuart- Contemporary Love story
A love story with a difference- I’m not into out and out romance novels(this isn’t- there is
far,far more) but this is one unique read. Bonnie and Stan are in their seventies and about
to finally build their dream home. Bonnie was a architect and having bought the land many
years earlier they can now build for their twilight years. Stan has had to go the the hospital
and has some bad news, news that Bonnie is determined to fight. They met in the 1960’s
and the book alternates between then and now to tell us the story of their lives. Having
been together 50 years they are soulmates and Stan is determined that Bonnie won’t be
left alone so with the assistance of his granddaughter he tries to find a suitable
companion for Bonnie for after he is gone. Oh my heart! This is so beautifully written.
I almost wanted to meet both Bonnie and Stan they are such endearing characters each
with their own strengths and weaknesses who bounce off each other to make a real
team.Characters that we maybe all meet once in a lifetime. One real treasure of a
read. I loved this and shall remember it for a very long time.

Bonnie and Stan are soulmates. They met during the Swinging Sixties, to the soundtrack of The Beatles and the Merseybeat scene. They’ve grown up and grown old together, had children and grandchildren. They are finally settling into retirement and building their dream home when disaster strikes.
Stan cannot bear the thought of leaving Bonnie. All his life he’s devoted himself to looking after her and now, when it really counts, he will have to leave her alone. Or will he…? 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 which will make your heart sing.
