65 Years of Lucy is the third, but not the last, book in the 100 Years of Ermintrude series. It tells the story of Lucy, Ermintrude's daughter, and how qualities like strength and tenacity get passed down in our genes.
25 Years of Tristan is the first sequel to the eponymous 100 Years of Ermintrude. It tells of the tragically short life of Ermintrude's son, Tristan and how we all need to live our lives as if today is our last.
100 Years of Ermintrude is a narrated, musical meditative poem available to be played on your MP3 player, phone or computer. It's a life story told backwards in just 33 stanzas. Although it can be listened to in 15 minutes, it's something that will stay with you forever and you will want to hear again and again.
"Stunning. I cried. that's all," said one man.
