Sometimes it's not so important what you achieve in life, but who you share it with... Life is short. No one knows this better than seventeen-year-old Lenni. She suffers from an incurable illness that doesn't leave her much time. What is she supposed to do with friends of the same age who still have their whole lives ahead of them? What is she supposed to do with the time she has left, if she still has so many questions that life will never answer for her? In a painting course in the hospital, she meets Margot: eighty-three, full of life experience, wit and rebelliousness. Margot knows what it's like to have arrived in the last chapter of life. When they discover that they have lived together for exactly one hundred years, they make a plan: they want to paint pictures together - one for each of their hundred years. To capture all the precious moments full of love, laughter and tears that make up life. While they tell each other their memories over ink boxes and pastels, a deep friendship grows between the two unequal women - and the courage to throw themselves fully into life once again. An unforgettable book that tells with grace, wisdom and a lot of heart about what really matters in life.
