Biography

"Ship of Brides"

Jojo Moyes is a writer, for whom the main subject of the story is the world of women, so unlike the male even in peacetime. What can we say about the time when the war is over, but the consequences of it are extremely palpable. Several hundred girls who did not have time to become wives, swim on the liner to their failed husbands. But the path is long.

"Dancing with horses"

In Russian, in 2015, the novel "Dancing with horses" by Jojo Moyes was published. The photo of this edition is located above. The story of the granddaughter of a former professional rider, whose life once changes, and an unexpected acquaintance. Fateful events that can change not only the life, but also the character of the person - the favorite theme of Jojo Moyes. But, in spite of this, the plots of her works are unique and unrepeatable. And opening a new book of this remarkable writer, the reader, already familiar with her work, can hardly foresee the further course of events.

"Until we meet you"

Become, no matter what, his second half. This is compassion. The ability to go in the name of love for sacrifice, to perform not a minute heroic deed, but a feat of a lifetime. The main heroine of the novel Jojo Moyes is ready to commit it. However, the person she loves can not accept such a gift.

The novel "Before the meeting with you" makes you think.
