We All Live Here

Jojo Moyes is a British author and journalist. She also has experience writing screenplays. She was born and grew up in Maidstone, London. She went on to earn degrees in journalism and writing at City University and Royal Holloway and Bedford New College, London University. In the years following, Moyes worked for The Independent newspaper (as both an assistant news editor and an arts and media correspondent). She also wrote for The Daily Telegraph, where her writing still sometimes appears. While pursuing a journalism career, Moyes began penning fiction manuscripts—the first three of which were rejected by publishers. In 2002, Moyes finally accomplished her dream of becoming a published fiction author with the publication of her debut novel, Sheltering Rain. This novel features the story “of three generations of Irish women faced with the fundamental truths of love, duty, and the unbreakable bond that unites mothers and daughters” (“Sheltering Rain.” GoodReads).

Since Sheltering Rain, Moyes has published over 15 full-length novels, as well as novellas and short stories. Her fiction titles include the books Foreign Fruit (2003), The Peacock Emporium (2004), The Ship of Brides (2005), Silver Bay (2007), Night Music (2008), The Horse Dancer (2009),
