The Rest of Their Lives | Jean-Paul Didierlaurent
5 posts | 5 read | 4 to read
Filled with all the larger-than-life characters and enchanting storytelling that made readers fall for The Reader on the 6.27, Jean-Paul Didierlaurents follow-up novel, The Rest of Their Lives, is set to charm the world. Its difficult to find love in a profession like Ambroises 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 Manelles 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 Ambroises cake-loving grandmother, it might just be time for the rest of their lives to begin . . .

A strange but enjoyable little story about an embalmer and a home help. It‘s nicely written, told with a sense of humour but with some dark and quite serious themes. I read this for my local book group so I‘m looking forward to hearing their thoughts.

What a great book. The characters are beautiful. The story is sweet. Loved it! It covers the theme of ageing and death from every angle and in a way that so many books don't. If you liked the TV show Six Feet Under you'd probably like this story.
