- The Rest of Our Lives. by Markovits, Ben.;
- " effortlessly warm, and it uses the smallest parts of human behavior to uphold bigger themes, like mortality, sickness, and love. The Rest of Our Lives is a novel of sincerity and precision. We found it difficult to put it down." -- The Booker Prize 2025 judges: Ayobami Adebayo, Chris Power, Kiley Reid, Roddy Doyle and Sarah Jessica Parker "It would be impossible to read The Rest of Our Lives without pleasure. Fluently written and effortlessly wise about families and middle age, it tells a compelling story that packs a serious emotional punch." --George Cochrane, Telegraph " is a book that has everything -- a clear line of plot, turbulently interesting narrator, themes both modern and timeless -- and feels like one of those books that, as you read, makes you think, "Why aren''t all novels like this?"". --John Self, Critic "This compelling depiction of life at a crossroads is a male counterpart to Miranda July''s All Fours." --Marcel Theroux, Guardian "A triumphant twist on the great American road novel...The Rest of Our Lives is another quiet triumph, an elegant, devastating book... Markovits has long been one of our most under-appreciated novelists; this is yet more proof that he deserves far greater recognition." --Alex Preston, Guardian "What makes The Rest of Our Lives so powerful is its restraint...the novel lingers in the mind, not for what it says outright, but for what it leaves unsaid." --Ruby Eastwood, Irish Sunday Independent "Markovits excels at family relationships: the things said and left unsaid.... Reading Ben Markovits''s gentle, powerful and funny novel, we are reminded that family love can ground us and keep usLibrary Bound Incorporated
