By the author of Imposture and The Sidekick . This book was shortlisted for the 2025 Booker Prize .
" A triumphantly life-affirming road trip novel about marriage , middle-age , and 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 . "
