The Six Loves of Billy Binns - Thryft

Love, relationship, and history in 20th century London.

Recommendation: THE SIX LOVES OF BILLY BINNS is a heartwarming read that chronicles the emotional journey of Billy Binns throughout his 117 years of life. With a focus on love and relationships, this book is perfect for readers who enjoy delving into the depth of human connections and relish the historical backdrop of 20th century London. Lumsden's debut novel has been compared to Gail Honeyman's ELEANOR OLIPHANT IS COMPLETELY FINE in its quirky pathos and Rachel Joyce's THE PILGRIMAGE OF HAROLD FRY in terms of warmth and humor, making it an ideal choice for reading groups and anyone who wants to feel the power of love across the decades.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

THE SIX LOVES OF BILLY BINNS is a deeply moving debut set in London against the backdrop of the changing 20th century. it is reading group fiction perfect for those who loved the quirky pathos of Gail Honeyman's ELEANOR OLIPHANT IS COMPLETELY FINE and the warmth and humour of Rachel Joyce's THE PILGRIMAGE OF HAROLD FRY.

At 117 years old, Billy Binns is the oldest man in Europe and he knows his time is almost up. But Billy has a final wish: he wants to remember what love feels like one last time. As he looks back at the relationships that have shaped his life - and the events that shaped the century - he recalls a life full of hope, heartbreak and, above all, love.
