Family Fortitude

We All Live Here by Jojo Moyes is a family drama with a hint of romance.

Lila is going through a lot: regularly seeing her newly divorced husband’s pregnant mistress at school pickup, her stepdad’s progressive move in after her mother’s death, raising two daughters, her estranged famous actor father suddenly reappearing in their lives along with her own career/financial woes.

Meanwhile, Lila is trying to write a follow up to her recent bestseller (which was ironically about her great marriage). This book is going to be about her sexual escapades as a new divorcee. However, her sexual interests are also a little complicated.

There are sentimental and humorous scenes throughout the story as it’s told mainly from Lila’s point of view (with some chapters from her sixteen-year-old daughter Celie). This book will appeal to aged forty plus women looking for a book about relationships and overcoming tough times.
