各界推薦

What makes The Rest of Our Lives so powerful is its restraint . . . As it moves toward its devastating close, the weight of what remains unspoken grows heavier, and avoidance hardens into permanence. The novel lingers in the mind, not for what it says outright, but for what it leaves unsaid. ― Irish Independent

Markovits excels at family relationships: the things said and left unsaid; the weight of experience that forms character; and the ways in which families love each other, even as their members find each other irritating [...] Reading Ben Markovits's gentle, powerful and funny novel, we are reminded that family love can ground us and keep us together. ― TLS

What an excellent novel about the rich, accumulated layers of marriage. The fissures and precious moments, the embedded resentments and tenderness in the relationship of Tom and Amy, it all forms such a real and complex portrait. — Sarah Hall
