The One Hundred Years of Lenni and Margot — Marianne Cronin

The One Hundred Years of Lenni and Margot is a novel by British writer Marianne Cronin that tells the touching story of an unlikely friendship between two women of very different ages.

The story takes place in a hospital where seventeen-year-old Lenni meets eighty-three-year-old Margot. Despite the age difference, they form a strong bond and begin an art project together.

The two decide to create one hundred paintings—one for each year of their combined lives—while sharing memories and life experiences. The novel explores themes of friendship, memory, loss, and the value of every moment.
