โฆ Synopsis
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 hard to find love with a job like Ambroise's - an embalmer in a small French town, he rarely spends time with the living.
And while Manelle - a home-help for the elderly - enjoys her days taking care of her spirited clients, she finds her evenings are often spent with TV dinners for one.
So when chance - and an unusual road trip - bring Ambroise and Manelle together, they are both more than ready for the rest of their lives to begin . . .
