ABOUT THIS BOOK 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. MY REVIEW An emotional, heartbreaking, grab a box of tissues kind of story, THE SIX LOVES OF BILLY BINNS by Richard Lumsden is a special book that will transport you back in time and keep you gripped from start to finish. Billy Binns is getting old, like really old, and before he completely forgets his life he is determined to write down his memoirs centred around the great loves of his life. Starting from the first blush of young love to the kind of love that breaks you, Billy's history bursts to life like a movie and we are swept along for the ride. The story moves from past to present effortlessly throughout and the author has a wonderful way of painting a picture of the past for the reader which is both realistic and artistic. There are moments of pure joy alongside moments of utter sadness and I won't tell you how often I found tears on my cheeks while I was reading this compelling debut. THE SIX LOVES OF BILLY BINNS by Richard Lumsden is a beautiful, poignant, and heartfelt story that is sure to be a huge success and I cannot wait to read more from this author.
