Renowned author Jojo Moyes, who is well-known for her poignant and captivating books, frequently discusses books that have influenced her over the course of her career. Among these is Harper Lee's "To Kill A Mockingbird," which she believes has depth and offers fresh perspectives every time it is read. Through the eyes of young Scout Finch, the book examines issues of racial injustice and moral development, providing readers with a timeless story about compassion and understanding.

Moyes was also influenced by Kate Atkinson's book "Behind the Scenes at the Museum." Because it served as the impetus for her to begin writing seriously, this story is especially noteworthy. Through the eyes of Ruby Lennox, a character who negotiates the complexities of family history, "Behind the Scenes at the Museum" tells the life stories of multiple generations in a humorous and moving way.

Reading these books, according to Moyes, is like peeling an onion; every layer reveals more about the world and oneself. Moyes thinks that rereading literary works can gradually deepen our understanding, much like the layers of an onion enhance one's experience with it. She gives both books credit for their capacity to provoke readers to reflect carefully on the intricacies of life in addition to providing them with entertainment.

Moyes hopes that her own stories will strike a similar chord with her readers, providing them with a distinct viewpoint and a chance for introspection with each reading. In the same way that these books have greatly influenced her storytelling style, Moyes hopes that her writing will encourage others to view well-known tales in new ways.
