We All Live Here by Jojo Moyes
We All Live Here by Jojo Moyes is a heartfelt and emotionally rich novel that blends humour, grief, and personal transformation in a story about rebuilding life after loss. The story centres on Lila Kennedy, a 42-year-old writer and mother of two daughters, Celie and Violet, who is reeling from a recent divorce and the sudden death of her mother, Francesca. Her ex-husband, Dan, left her for another woman, Marja, who is now pregnant, and lives just a few doors down. Lila’s once-promising writing career is stalled, and her personal life is in disarray. Living in North London with her eccentric but loving stepfather Bill, Lila tries to juggle parenting, grief, and a floundering career. Her literary agent pushes her to write about her post-divorce life, but Lila feels uninspired and emotionally drained. The situation becomes even more complicated when her estranged biological father, Gene, unexpectedly reappears, igniting tensions with Bill and stirring up unresolved family trauma. Amidst the chaos, Lila meets Jensen, a landscaper hired to redo her garden, and begins to explore the possibility of new love...
Classic Jojo Moyes - warm, witty, and emotionally resonant.
