The Rest of Our Lives would appear to be another book that not too many other people enjoyed, but I did. It’s a book where big things don’t really happen and someone (in this case, Tom Layward) is pondering on his life.

Tom has dropped his youngest child at college for her first semester, and then keeps on driving. So, it’s a road trip of sorts. He visits people from his past, not really knowing what he wants from them or from himself. Tom is at a crossroads in his life: should he leave his wife as he promised himself 12 years ago when she had an affair? What’s he going to do about his job? And should he see a doctor about his health concerns?

It’s a meandering tale up to the point where he’s in hospital, and then the story would seem to have more purpose. I liked it, but then I’m one of those people who finds the minutiae of people’s lives quite interesting!
