Publisher's summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

An extraordinary friendship. A lifetime of stories.

Their last one begins here.

Life is short - no one knows that better than 17-year-old Lenni Petterssen. On the Terminal Ward, the nurses are offering their condolences already, but Lenni still has plenty of living to do.

When she meets 83-year-old Margot Macrae, a fellow patient offering new friendship and enviable artistic skills, Lenni's life begins to soar in ways she'd never imagined.

As their bond deepens, a world of stories opens up: of wartime love and loss, of misunderstanding and reconciliation, of courage, kindness and joy.

Stories that have led Lenni and Margot to the end of their days.

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 it most.

A deceptively easy listen but with a deep core between the lines

everything i hoped it would be. and more.

it captured all of the emotions i have previously held of the very living we all ought to do, with the soft, gentle reminder that it is fleeting.
the readings were immaculate, and captured the colourful characters so vividly that they will forever be a part of me.
