Rest of Their Lives

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 . . .
