100 Years of Lenni and Margot by Marianne Cronin
This book was absolutely beautiful and poignant and heartbreaking and lovely.
Lenni is a young woman with a fatal diagnosis. Margot is an old woman with a fatal diagnosis. Together their ages equal 100 years. Living in the hospital, Lenni and Margot meet and form a sweet friendship.
Lenni can’t really relate to any kids her age anymore. However, she feels a connection with someone who understands what it means to know the end is just around the next bend. Margot has lived a long life and has so many stories to tell. Lenni will not live a long life and happily listens to all that Margot is willing to share.
Together Lenni and Margot create something impactful during their time together in art class. They create something that will live beyond their lives — a legacy.
I really, really recommend this wonderful book.
