About this listen
The #1 New York Times bestselling author, whose books so many love, brings us a fresh, contemporary story of a woman and her unruly blended family
“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.

Story
Suppose your life sucks. A lot. Your husband has done a vanishing act, your teenage stepson is being bullied, and your math-whiz daughter has a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that you can't afford to pay for. That's Jess' life in a nutshell - until an unexpected knight-in-shining-armor offers to rescue them. Only Jess' knight turns out to be Geeky Ed, the obnoxious tech millionaire whose vacation home she happens to clean. But Ed has big problems of his own, and driving the dysfunctional family to the Math Olympiad feels like his first unselfish act in ages...maybe ever.

Story
A sophisticated, pause-resisting double love story spanning 40 years-an unforgettable Brief Encounter for our times. It is 1960. When Jennifer Stirling wakes up in the hospital, she can remember nothing-not the tragic car accident that put her there, not her husband, not even who she is. She feels like a stranger in her own life until she stumbles upon an impassioned letter, signed simply "B", asking her to leave her husband. Years later, in 2003, a journalist named Ellie discovers the same enigmatic letter in a forgotten file in her newspaper's archives.

Tomorrow her daughter, Debbie, is getting married, and she hasn’t even been invited to the spa day organized by the mother of the groom.

Beth and her gentle, kind husband Frank are happily married, but their relationship relies on the past staying buried. But when Beth’s brother-in-law shoots a dog going after their sheep, Beth doesn’t realize that the gunshot will alter the course of their lives.

Good things happen at the lake. That’s what Alice’s grandmother says, and it’s true. Alice spent just one summer there at a cottage with Nan when she was seventeen—it’s where she took that photo, the one of three grinning teenagers in a yellow speedboat, the image that changed her life. Now Alice lives behind a lens. As a photographer, she’s most comfortable on the sidelines, letting other people shine. Lately though, she’s been itching for something more, and when Nan falls and breaks her hip, Alice comes up with a plan for them both: another summer in that magical place, Barry’s Bay.

Critic reviews
“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
“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 post-divorce family life that manages to be both poignant and funny.”—Kirkus, starred review

Story
The tiny, well-ordered seaside village of Merham holds little to interest the adventurous - except for Arcadia, the breathtaking art deco house perched above the shoreline. Attracted to this magical place, young Lottie Swift surrenders freely to its temptations and ultimately must face the hard consequences of her actions. Years later, another young woman comes to Merham. A designer hired to make over the now-empty Arcadia, Daisy Parsons seeks a new beginning, as Lottie once did. Fleeing a broken relationship, Daisy finds refuge at Arcadia, and something more - a love she thought she would never know again.

A sophisticated, pause-resisting double love story spanning 40 years-an unforgettable Brief Encounter for our times. It is 1960. When Jennifer Stirling wakes up in the hospital, she can remember nothing-not the tragic car accident that put her there, not her husband, not even who she is. She feels like a stranger in her own life until she stumbles upon an impassioned letter, signed simply "B", asking her to leave her husband. Years later, in 2003, a journalist named Ellie discovers the same enigmatic letter in a forgotten file in her newspaper's archives.

It centers on the protagonist Lila, an author whose last book was a huge seller, enabling her to purchase a house that is now way too big and in need of repair. Meanwhile, her husband Dan just left her for a much younger woman who has a child of her own and one on the way so Lila can't count on him for any financial support. Also, with the recent death of her mother, it's decided (why whom, she can't recall) that her lonely stepdad Bill must move in with her, making the house seem small now, with her two girls, Violet and Celie, trying their best to grow up amidst the chaos (while also creating said chaos). And let's not forget landscape gardener Jensen, hired by Bill to restore the backyard, an act that Lila cannot afford.
While Lila copes with this chaos, in walks her actual dad Gene, an over-the-hill American actor who has fallen on hard times (although he won't actually admit it) but needs a place to stay while he finds work on this side of the pond.
Lila's life is in a constant state of agitation, whether it's calming her teenager Celie, yelling at Gene for abandoning her mom and her, falling in love with a parent at her kids' school who turns out not to be the prince she envisioned, writing a new book that her agent demands she make sexier, or not recognizing the goodness of Jensen.
Some may find this novel a bit predictable; I did, too. But Lila is an engaging protagonist and her situations are fun and entertaining.
I still love Jojo Moyes' work. It always elicits the deepest emotions in me.
