"Funny, moving. . . I defy anyone to finish this story without tears in their eyes."- Graeme Simsion, bestselling author of The Rosie Project What would you do if you knew you only had 100 days left to live? For Lucio Battistini, it's a chance to spend the rest of his life the way he always should have - by making every moment count. Womanizing, imperfect, but loveable, Lucio Battistini has been thrown out of the house by his wife and is sleeping in the stock room of his father-in-law's bombolini bakery when he learns he has inoperable cancer. So begins the last hundred days of Lucio's life, as he attempts to care for his family, win back his wife (the love of his life and afterlife), and spend the next three months enjoying every moment with a zest he hasn't felt in years. From helping his hopelessly romantic, widowed father-in-law find love, discovering comfort in enduring friendships, and finding new ones, Lucio becomes, at last, the man he's always meant to be. In 100 epigrammatic chapters, one for each of Lucio's remaining days on earth, 100 Days of Happiness is as delicious as a hot doughnut and a morning cappuccino. Wistful, often hilarious, and always delectable, 100 Days of Happiness reminds us all to remember the preciousness of life and what matters most.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading One Hundred Days of Happiness. It seems wrong to enjoy reading about someone’s experience with cancer and even more so to think that their death provided a good ending for the story, but that’s the truth. The character was flawed but likeable, the story was told with sympathy and a good deal of humour, and eventually I had to stop reading it in fits and starts and instead, give it my full attention. I wanted to accompany Lucio on his journey without interruption so goodbye to my daily concerns and business until I finished this tale. I have no hesitation in recommending this book.
