Against the current of romantic narrative in which profusion is the common note (see the cases of the inexhaustible feathers of Megan maxwell o Danielle Steel), Jojo Moyes He publishes respecting a more natural cadence, that of a book per year for a season, proceeding to a literary break (although he continues to collaborate, for example in the Daily Telegraph) and again returning to the narrative cycle. It must be that in the meantime he is dedicated to living and finding new stories.
The point is, his method works to make his novels more robust. It is true that everything is debatable, but it is only necessary to see that she is the only author who has repeated an award in the Association of Romantic Novelists of Great Britain.
This author little by little has been penetrating readers around the world and her literary settlement in Spain, although she does not come again, is already beginning to acquire invasion connotations. The foundation of his stories is the romantic, yes, but in his imprint within this genre he brings bright nuances of a singular humor at times or a certain existentialism in others, he even encompasses transcendental historical moments in which to place his stories. Indispensable without a doubt in the current and future romantic genre.

Jess Thomas is what has been known as a current woman, with what is supposed to be a superwoman. Straddling the old traditions of women as a homemaker (the old inexhaustible inner-door matriarchy) and the job demands of the times, Jess feels her days shorten with a suffocating will.
At the controls of the lives of her daughter and stepson, she barely finds time for that necessary monologue-dialogue with whoever is on the other side of the mirror. Someone like Ed Nicholls appears to the reader as a necessary person. The problem is whether the hurried Jess will have time to listen to her heart amid the tachycardia of the day to day.
