FINALIST FOR THE 2025 BOOKER PRIZE
“[The Rest of Our Lives] feels like one of those books that, as you read, makes you think, ‘Why aren’t all novels like this?’” —The Critic
“Reading Ben Markovits’s gentle, powerful, and funny novel, we are reminded that family love can ground us and keep us together." —The Times Literary Supplement
A triumphantly life-affirming road trip novel about a man at a crossroads in his life.
When Tom Layward’s 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.
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. He’s moving towards a future he hasn’t even envisioned yet while he considers his past and the choices he’s 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.
