Waterstones Says

Alive with the same quintessential je ne sais quoi that made The Reader on the 6.27 such a runaway success, this is a charming, bittersweet novel of unlikely love and late-life adventure.

Filled with all the larger-than-life characters and enchanting storytelling that made readers fall for The Reader on the 6.27, Jean-Paul Didierlaurent’s follow-up novel, The Rest of Their Lives, is set to charm the world.

It’s difficult to find love in a profession like Ambroise’s – even his father despises what he does . . .

And while Manelle – a home-help for the elderly in the same small French town – adores her days spent with her eccentric clients, she too often ends her evenings alone.

So when an unusual request from Manelle’s favourite client – eighty-two-year-old retired chef-gourmand Samuel – brings the two of them together for an unlikely road-trip to Switzerland, along with Ambroise’s cake-loving grandmother, it might just be time for the rest of their lives to begin . . .

“Beautifully Told Story!”

What I love about the French translation of Didierlaurent's books is the characters insight and beautiful flaws are not lost and make them all the more endearing, even an unkempt scraggy cat..
