I thought this book was so lovely. It's slow and soft, charming in a way that is unique to inter-generational relationships. The two help one another to process some of the harder bits of their past, but also help each other live fully in whatever time they've got left. Lenni and Margot get into light mischief and show each other deep respect as committed friends. It'd be a great pick for folks who enjoyed A Man Called Ove or Major Pettigrew's Last Stand.
