This is a beautiful story of Lenni who is 17 and Margot who is 83. They meet in hospital and when they realise that between them they have lived 100 years they decided to create an art protect with a painting for each year. As they are painting they describe to stories of their lives to each other and form a friendship.

I love a multigenerational tale so I knew I wanted to read this one straight away and it was everything I wanted from a book, it made me laugh, it made me cry and it ultimately warmed my heart.

I loved Lenni's take on life and her quick wit and humour (I will never look at a raisin in the same way again!) I especially loved her interactions with Farther Arthur. I also thought the inclusion of religion and questioning of it was handled really well. The use of art to bring to the two characters together was beautiful and really emphasised how important the arts are to us.

I also loved how there were little chance encounters and coincidences that appear throughout the book as I am a firm believer that all things happen for a reason and Lenni again sums that up entirely, 'It was an exchange of riches. She gave the hospital a gift and it gave one back"
