LONGLISTED FOR THE BOOKER PRIZE n[The Rest of Our Lives] feels like one of those books that, as you read, makes you think, Why arent all novels like this? --The Critic n nReading Ben Markovitss gentle, powerful, and funny novel, we are reminded that family love can ground us and keep us together. --The Times Literary Supplement n nA triumphantly life-affirming road trip novel about a man at a crossroads in his life. n nWhen Tom Laywards wife had an affair twelve years ago, he resolved to leave her as soon as his youngest child left the nest. Now, while driving his college-bound daughter to Pittsburgh, he remembers his promise to himself. He is also on the run from his own health issues and a forced leave from work. n n So, rather than returning to his wife in Westchester, Tom keeps driving west, with the vague plan of visiting people from his past--an old college friend, his ex-girlfriend, his brother, his son--en route, maybe, to California. Hes moving towards a future he hasnt even envisioned yet while he considers his past and the choices hes made that have brought him to this particular present. Pitch-perfect, tender, and keenly observed, The Rest of Our Lives is a story about what to do when the rest of your life is only just the beginning of your story.n
