“Feels less like reading a novel and more like sitting in a car beside a dear friend as he navigates the road up ahead. A profoundly moving experience.” —Ann Patchett
“Deeply human...a beautifully quiet and devastating book.” —Sarah Jessica Parker
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.

Reseñas de la crítica
"Eric Meyers portrays Tom Layward, who drops his daughter off at college in Pittsburgh and immediately indulges in a midlife crisis in the form of a spontaneous road trip. When Tom’s wife had an affair 12 years earlier, he promised himself to cut ties only after their youngest child left home, and Meyers depicts Tom’s repressed frustration as he finally breaks loose. With an ambiguous plan to eventually reach his son in LA, Tom connects with old acquaintances as well as strangers, each voiced by Meyers with a subtle shift in tone and pace. Tom is blasé about his health situation and is less concerned than everyone around him, including his confused and angry wife back home."
