Jojo Moyes
“Nobody writes women the way Jojo Moyes does.” —Jodi Picoult
Lila Kennedy has a lot on her plate. A broken marriage, two wayward daughters, a house that is falling apart, and an elderly stepfather who seems to have quietly moved in. Her career is in freefall and her love life is . . . complicated. So when her real dad—a man she has barely seen since he ran off to Hollywood thirty-five years ago—suddenly appears on her doorstep, it feels like the final straw. But it turns out even the family you thought you could never forgive might have something to teach you: about love, and what it actually means to be family.

Critic reviews
Praise for We All Live Here:
“No one writes women of a certain age better than Jojo Moyes—reminding us that we matter, even when the world tries to make us invisible. It takes a master of the craft to catalog the messy vicissitudes of life in a way that both haunts and validates the reader’s own experiences, and her latest novel proves that there is no time like the present to rewrite one’s own story.”
—Jodi Picoult, #1 New York Times–bestselling author of By Any Other Name
“Jojo Moyes is as wise, funny, and glorious as ever with We All Live Here. She never ever disappoints.”
—Lisa Jewell, #1 New York Times–bestselling author of None of This Is True
“Warm, witty, and wonderful. We All Live Here is a story of family and friendship, of love, compassion, and, most importantly, a timely reminder of what truly matters most. The kind of book you smile at while reading.”
—Chris Whitaker, New York Times–bestselling author of All the Colors of the Dark
“Hilarious . . . believable and funny . . . Moyes combines the warmth of an Annabel Monaghan rom-com with the humanity of a Catherine Newman novel, creating a story that will provoke tears and laughter. [We All Live Here is] a moving, realistic look at one woman’s postdivorce family life that manages to be both poignant and funny.”
—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
“Bighearted and funny, a story about mistakes, forgiveness, and moving on . . . about family—what defines it, how it morphs, how it hurts us, how it sustains us.”
—Star Tribune
“We All Live Here is so funny, touching, and full of wisdom: Jojo Moyes at her very best.”
—Sophie Kinsella, New York Times–bestselling author of The Burnout
“The best book she has ever written . . . mature, compassionate, wise.”
—Marian Keyes, internationally bestselling author of My Favorite Mistake

Dear Listener,
Dear Listener,
What was my favorite part about writing this story?
"My favorite part of writing this story was writing Gene, who came to life almost immediately (this rarely happens with characters) and, in fact, threatened to run away with the whole book. My favorite scene to write was one that takes place between him and his granddaughter, Celie, with whom he has had no prior relationship and who is having a bad time at school. Gene walks with Celie to the local park where he gives her an actor’s lesson in body language. I hadn’t planned how this scene would go, but somehow, because of the dynamics between them, it managed to be touching and sad and funny, all within the space of a few pages. Basically, an author’s dream (well, mine anyway)."– Jojo Moyes, writer of
