Ben Markovits – The Rest of Our Lives (2025). Booker-shortlisted road-trip novel of mid-life reflections. A man drives his daughter to college, then just keeps on driving. A less effective version of Richard Ford’s Frank Bascombe novels, although it does improve as it progresses. #BenMarkovits

Pleased to have reviewed 3/13 on the #Bookerprize longlist, so far incl Love Forms by #ClaireAdam & The Rest of Our Lives by #BenMarkovits. Also rooting for The Land in Winter by #AndrewMiller & Ledia Xhoga's Misinterpretation (which I reviewed for the Observer). www.lucypopescu.com/2025/07/spee...
Speed Reading - fiction
I loved these three extrordinary, quietly compelling novels - two have since been nominated for the Booker Prize 2025
