**LONGLISTED FOR THE AUTHOR'S CLUB FIRST NOVEL AWARD** 'Emotional,
involving, witty and sad. Everyone is going to love Lenni and
Margot' JILL MANSELL 'Lenni and Margot are two of the most
wonderful, warm, witty and wise heroines I've ever met. Beautiful
and glorious' CLARE POOLEY, author of The Authenticity Project
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 when we need them most.
_______________________________________ Life is short. No-one knows
that better than seventeen-year-old Lenni. 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
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. 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 friendship deepens, it becomes
vividly clear that life is not done with Lenni and Margot yet. An
extraordinary friendship. A lifetime of stories. Their last one
begins here. --------------------------------------------- VOTED
