The two embark on a project to paint 100 canvases, representing the 100 years of their lives, and, in alternating chapters, they reveal their stories to each other, opening up about divorce and death, love and loss.
This is a book with a sweet, heartwarming, sometimes devastating premise with two characters who led interesting lives. Yet, I just didn't feel connected to the story. I enjoyed reading about Lenni's relationship with Father Arthur and Margot's relationship with Howard--actually, I think Howard was my favorite character--but Lenni and Margot's friendship was unconvincing to me, which definitely reduced the overall impact of the book.
