Book description
'A perfect contemporary take on the American road-trip novel.' LUCY CALDWELL'Pitch perfect in its faithful depiction of the small failings and misfortunes of a life.' JANE FEAVER'Completely involving and so funny, wise and knowing.' CLARE CHAMBERSA hugely emotive and quietly exhilarating novel about family, marriage and those moments which can define our lives.What's left when your kids grow up and leave home? When Tom Layward's wife had an affair he resolved to leave her as soon as his youngest daughter turned eighteen. Twelve years later, while driving her to Pittsburgh to start university, he remembers his pact.He is also on the run from his own health issues, and the fact that he's been put on leave at work after students complained about the politics of his law class - something he hasn't yet told his wife.So, after dropping Miriam off, he keeps driving, with the vague plan of visiting various people from his past - an old college friend, his ex-girlfriend, his brother, his son - on route, maybe, to his father's grave in California.Readers adored The Rest of Our Lives: 'What a powerful tale; a really unexpected treasure.''Highly recommended if you want to read something real and something that will resonate.''The best novel I've read this year.

This app's versatility in downloading and organizing audiobooks ensures I always have a captivating tale at my fingertips. 📖📱 This was a competent audiobook production with no major flaws. The narrator's voice was pleasant enough and the audio quality was acceptable, though not exceptional. While the performance didn't particularly stand out, it served its purpose adequately for my daily commute. This audiobook performed its function without excelling. The narrator's delivery was straightforward and easy to follow, though lacking in dramatic flair. The recording quality was decent with only occasional minor inconsistencies in volume. An acceptable but forgettable listening experience.
