Miss Ona Vitkus has - aside from three months in the summer of 1914 - lived unobtrusively, her secrets fiercely protected.
The boy, with his passion for world records, changes all that. He is eleven. She is one hundred and four years, one hundred and thirty three days old (they are counting). And he makes her feel like she might be really special after all. Better late than never...
Only it's been two weeks now since he last visited, and she's starting to think he's not so different from all the rest.
Then the boy's father comes, for some reason determined to finish his son's good deed. And Ona must show this new stranger that not only are there odd jobs to be done, but a life's ambition to complete . . .

批評家のレビュー
Curl up and enjoy this bewitching novel
A lovely, quirky novel about misfits across generations
Razor sharp while packing a heart-wrenchingly powerful emotional punch... Beautifully written, cleverly constructed, at times hilariously funny and ultimately deeply affecting - this should be a smash
Delightful. It's a hugely engaging look at how lives can be remade in the most unexpected of ways
A whimsical and bittersweet story about finding friendship in the most unlikely places
Heartwarming... beautifully sketched characters... life-affirming *****
This inspirational tale of friendship, world records and following dreams is a stunner
Wise, witty and incredibly moving... magical and life-affirming. I was utterly charmed (Polly Samson)
A big, warm, winning treat of a novel, wholly believable but touched with magic... Sharply observed, deftly constructed and pithily told (Alison Mercer)
A beautifully told story
Wood's prose sparkles with lyrical descriptions and sharp observations about people and their motivations... But the over-arching theme running through it all concerns second chances. Even when you're older than a century, life still has the capacity to surprise you
The boy is one of my favourite literary characters ever! I thought it was a gem of a novel, heartbreaking and heartwarming. Beautifully written, with characters that you want to keep by your side (Adele Parks)
A magical, beautifully written story about the healing power of friendship, music, and unexpected, generation-spanning connections. As emotionally resonant as THE CURIOUS INCIDENT OF THE DOG IN THE NIGHT-TIME (Christina Baker Kline)
A beguiling, heart-wrenching and funny book... Absolutely gorgeous
It's a pleasure to linger with her elegant prose, keen eye, and grace of thought
