Description
Unforgettable, life-enhancing and uplifting, this unique story of a friendship between an older woman and a teenager received incredible praise from readers, press and retailers alike.
'The most uplifting book of the year' INDEPENDENT
'This is something special- moving, joyful and life-affirming' GOOD HOUSEKEEPING Book of the Month
An extraordinary friendship. A lifetime of stories. Their last one begins here.
_______________________________________
Life is short.
No-one knows that better than seventeen-year-old Lenni living on the terminal ward. But as she is about to learn, it's not only what you make of life that matters, but who you share it with.
Dodging doctor's orders, she joins an art class where she bumps into fellow patient Margot, a rebel-hearted eighty-three-year-old from the next ward. Their bond is instant as they realise that together they have lived an astonishing one hundred years.
To celebrate their shared century, they decide to paint their life stories—of growing old and staying young, of giving joy, of receiving kindness, of losing love, of finding the person who is everything.
As their extraordinary friendship deepens, it becomes vividly clear that life is not done with Lenni and Margot yet.
Fiercely alive, disarmingly funny and brimming with tenderness, The One Hundred Years of Lenni and Margot unwraps the extraordinary gift of life, and revels in our infinite capacity for friendship and love.
