Me Before You
Jojo Moyes, 2012
A wry, underemployed Englishwoman takes a care job in a grand house and finds her ordinary life opened up by the most difficult person in it.
Jojo Moyes
Moyes worked as a journalist for about a decade, including at The Independent, before becoming a full-time novelist.
Feels like love, tenderness and friendship.
What it costs to lose a job you didn't know you loved.
I had never considered that you might miss a job like you missed a limb—a constant, reflexive thing. I hadn’t thought that as well as the obvious fears about money, and your future, losing your job would make you feel inadequate, and a bit useless. That it would be harder to get up in the morning than when you were rudely shocked into consciousness by the alarm. That you might miss the people you worked with, no matter how little you had in common with them. Or even that you might find yourself searching for familiar faces as you walked the high street.
