The PBS Books Readers Club is excited to welcome Jojo Moyes, bestselling author of “Giver of Stars” and “Me Before You,” for an insightful conversation on her newest novel “We All Live Here.” This messy, heartwarming family drama intimately takes readers through the struggles of a sandwich generation woman trying to juggle it all.

“We All Live Here” follows Lila Kennedy whose life is in shambles. After her husband leaves her for a younger woman, she’s left to care for her two wayward daughters in a house that is falling apart. Her aging stepdad has silently moved in, and her publisher needs to know when she’s going to write more about her romantic escapades for her next book.

Just when she thinks things can’t get worse, her estranged father strides back into her life. Along the way she discovers the people you thought you could never forgive are exactly who you need to learn to love again.

In its winter 2025 books round-up, AARP The Magazine said, “This is a chaotic, ultimately heartwarming story about the messy life of Lila, who at midlife is dealing with a broken marriage, a career on the brink, teen drama and her father and stepfather both moving into her already hectic home. Her main goal? Keep it together for the kids, though a sexy fling sounds fun too.”

Moyes’ readers eagerly await each novel she writes because they know her brilliance, warmth and humor will be on full display, regardless of the novel’s setting. Moyes, whose books repeatedly capture readers the world over, tackles a wide array of topics, ranging from all-consuming, against-the-odds love stories like “Me Before You” and opposites-attract, road trip romances like “One Plus One.”

With “We All Live Here,” Moyes has managed to write a bright yet heart-wrenching, fun yet emotionally raw contemporary story of a woman and her unruly, blended family as they grieve, laugh and love together.

Jojo Moyes said, “I found over the years that for me, every book is most dependent on character. If I have an absolutely crystal-clear view of what that character’s voice is, it becomes very easy for me to just inhabit one, then inhabit another. My plot, that’s a whole other matter.”

Don’t miss out! Join the PBS Books Readers Club at 5 p.m. on May 28, 2025, for an illuminating interview with Jojo Moyes as she discusses how she approached writing her wide cast of characters and their complex relationships in her dynamic novel, “We All Live Here.”
