About this listen
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.

Wonderful
This book had me laughing and finally ugly crying - all the feels. Narration by both readers was fantastic and the book itself is wonderful.

Insightful perspectives and beautiful storytelling.
A touching superbly written and narrated novel that made me reflect on life and death - living and dying.
Thank you Marianne Cronin. I will listen to this again.

Brilliant!
This is the best voice performance in a book I've ever listened to and what a book it was. This book will stay with me long after I've finished listening. Powerful.

Best read for 5 years
I was hooked immediately. Such brilliant character building. Threads polished to perfection. A must for all. My favourite read over the past 5 years. I look forward to a 2nd read.

Heartwarming
This was such a beautiful and sad yet heartwarming story about relationships young and old. Death and life. It will stay with me.

Gorgeous
Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous story and beautifully narrated. The book is full of warmth, humour, joy, friendship and love. The language and quirky characterisation of Lenni and Margot is superb and goes to show that age does not need to be a barrier to love and friendship. It is uplifting and heartbreaking and altogether totally delightful
