Summary

This week, we’re on Hampstead Heath with the brilliant bestselling author Jojo Moyes and her gorgeous dog Sisu.

Sisu is a Bosnian rescue dog who had a very dramatic entrance into Jojo’s life which ended up with a call to the pet detective. It’s clear now that Sisu and Jojo have a very special bond - and Raymond absolutely being a part of Introvert Dogs Club!

Jojo tells us about her childhood rebellions, her extraordinary early jobs and how she coped with toxic workplaces in the 90s.

Jojo’s new novel We All Live Here is a warm-hearted, wry and empathetic novel about a woman getting to grips with her estranged family. You can order your copy here!
