Kerstin Schweighöfer has met ten centenarians for this book – from farmers to artists, from priests to businesswomen, spanning locations from Cannes to Munich, Jena, Dortmund, and London. In wonderful encounters and touching conversations, she uncovers many secrets and often receives astonishing answers to the big questions of life: What constitutes a good friendship, relationship, or marriage? How can true love become the love of a lifetime? How should one cope with pain and loss? The protagonists share their 100 years of life wisdom with us and captivate us with their insights.
