Jojo Moyes
International bestselling sensation, Jojo Moyes, returns to the podcast to tell us about her new novel.
Simon and Matt talk to her about writing nasty characters, whether it's harder to come up with plots seventeen books in, and how she may have accidentally based a character on David Soul, who she met 30 odd years ago!
More on the book:
Lila Kennedy has a lot on her plate. A recently broken marriage, two wayward daughters, a house that is falling apart, and an elderly stepfather who seems to have quietly moved in. Not to mention a once promising writing career that is now in freefall. 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 wanting to make amends, 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, friendship, and what it actually means to be family.
