Can't Wait Wednesday #13

 

Can't Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Wishful Endings to spotlight and discuss the books we're excited about that we have yet to read. Generally, they're books that have yet to be released.

Hi!! Boy am I ever behind schedule lol! I have a mountain of assignments due in the next couple of weeks so I've been working my butt off writing papers but haven't been able to read anything :( I missed the Monday post and was really hoping I could get a review up yesterday but alas.. here we are! I came across this book when looking through a "most anticipated books" list and I have to say I am intrigued! Anyone heard of this book yet?? I absolutely love the cover!

Title: The One Hundred Years of Lenni and Margot

Author: Marianne Cronin

Publish Date: June 1st, 2021

Publisher: Harper Perennial

An extraordinary friendship. A lifetime of stories.

Their last one begins here.

Life is short. No-one knows that better than seventeen-year-old Lenni living on the terminal ward. 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 extraordinary friendship deepens, it becomes vividly clear that life is not done with Lenni and Margot yet.

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.
