Jojo Moyes Family

Parents

Her parents are James C. Moyes and Elizabeth J. McKee. Elizabeth was an illustrator and her father transported fine arts. Her parents split up when she was only 12 years old.

‘‘I was a country child, who happened to be living in the inner city. And all I wanted for my birthday was my bedroom to turn into a stable, and Mum did it. My parents – both artists – were certainly Bohemian to an extent. You don’t notice that your childhood is eccentric or out of a tilt at the time. But it was all great material for a writer.’’

Her grandparents are Betty McKee, an Australian, and her grandfather was Scottish. Jojo said that she found the inspiration for her new book “The Ship of Brides,” during a conversation with her grandmother that revealed a surprise about love in the aftermath of World War Two.

Children

She has three children Saskia born in 1998, Harry born in 2001, and Lockie born in 2005. During an interview Jojo said that writing is her part-time job, her real job is a taxi-driver for her children.

“Writing is my part-time job, my real job is being a taxi service because we’ve chosen to live where there’s no public transport. We basically start at 7 am and don’t stop until the last child has come home from wherever, so we’re happy to pay for our daughter’s driving lessons – purely out of self-interest.

What worries me is how much I’m going to miss them when they leave home though, the kids are much better company than I expected teenagers to be. I was fully braced for them to be horrors, but actually, they’re pretty good fun and I really like them all. I’m sad already at the prospect of it all coming to an end.”

Jojo Moyes Me Before You/ Me Before You Synopsis

Louisa Clark is an ordinary young woman living an exceedingly ordinary life—steady boyfriend, close family—who has never been farther afield than their tiny village. She takes a badly needed job working for ex-Master of the Universe Will Traynor, who is wheelchair-bound after an accident. Will has always lived a huge life—big deals, extreme sports, worldwide travel—and now he’s pretty sure he cannot live the way he is.

Will is acerbic, moody, bossy—but Lou refuses to treat him with kid gloves, and soon his happiness means more to her than she expected. When she learns that Will has shocking plans of his own, she sets out to show him that life is still worth living.

A love story for this generation, Me Before You brings to life two people who couldn’t have less in common—a heartbreakingly romantic novel that asks, What do you do when making the person you love happy also means breaking your own heart?

Jojo Moyes Still Me

‘Still Me’ is Jojo’s #1 New York Times selling novel which features the main character Louisa Clark. Louisa Clark arrives in New York ready to start a new life, confident that she can embrace this new adventure and keep her relationship with Ambulance Sam alive across several thousand miles. She steps into the world of the superrich, working for Leonard Gopnik and his much younger second wife, Agnes. Lou is determined to get the most out of the experience and throws herself into her new job and New York life.

As she begins to mix in New York high society, Lou meets Joshua Ryan, a man who brings with him a whisper of her past. Before long, Lou finds herself torn between Fifth Avenue where she works and the treasure-filled vintage clothing store where she actually feels at home. And when matters come to a head, she has to ask herself: Who is Louisa Clark? And how do you reconcile a heart that lives in two places?
