Other Half x BPL Book Club

About this event

Bloomfield Public Library. Join us at The Other Half Brewing in Bloomfield in collaboration with Bloomfield Public Library to discuss this months book club pick - "The One Hundred Years of Lenni and Margot" by Marianne Cronin. If you need an accommodation to participate, please give us a call at (585) 657-6264 at least ten days before the event. A staff member will be in touch to confirm the details. Summary: 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 eighty 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.
