Jojo Moyes in conversation with Simon Akam and Rachel Lloyd

Fictions: We All Live Here

Hay Festival 2025, 

Few contemporary authors are as adept as Jojo Moyes at combining intimate family stories with big emotions and topics, and her latest novel is no exception. Moyes introduces We All Live Here, a story of family and love that follows Lila Kennedy, who is dealing with a broken marriage, two wayward daughters, a house that is falling apart and an elderly stepfather who seems to have quietly moved in.

So when her real dad, who ran off to Hollywood 35 years before, turns up at her doorstep, it feels like the final straw. But Lila soon realises that even the family you thought you could never forgive might have something to teach you.

Moyes’ books include Me Before You, The One Plus One and The Giver of Stars.
