An extraordinary friendship. A lifetime of stories. Their last one begins here. \r\n \r\nThis is something special: moving, joyful and life-affirming GOOD HOUSEKEEPING Book of the Month\r\n\r\nHeartwarming, remarkable stories BBC BOOKS FOR 2021\r\n_______________________________________\r\nLife is short. No-one knows that better than seventeen-year-old Lenni living on the terminal ward. But as she is about to learn, its not only what you make of life that matters, but who you share it with.\r\n\r\n Dodging doctors orders, she joins an art class where she bumps into fellow patient Margot, a rebel-hearted eight-three-year-old from the next ward. Their bond is instant as they realize that together they have lived an astonishing one hundred years.\r\n\r\n 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.\r\n\r\n As their extraordinary friendship deepens, it becomes vividly clear that life is not done with Lenni and Margot yet.\r\n\r\n Fiercely alive, disarmingly funny and brimming with tenderness, THE ONE HUNDRED YEARS OF LENNI AND MARGOT unwraps the extraordinary gift of life even when it is about to be taken away, and revels in our infinite capacity for friendship and love when we need them most. \r\n\r\n ---------------------------------------------\r\n\r\nFull of wisdom and kindness. It is just the kind of book I adore JOANNA CANNON\r\nEmotional, involving, witty and sad.

An utter joy ABBIE GREAVES
