About this listen
A touching and very human portrait of Jo Cox: daughter, mother, wife, sister, MP and activist.
'Today is the beginning of a new chapter in our lives. More difficult, more painful, less joyful, less full of love. I and Jo's friends and family are going to work every moment of our lives to love and nurture our kids and to fight against the hate that killed Jo.
Jo believed in a better world and fought for it every day of her life with an energy, and a zest for life that would exhaust most people.' - Brendan Cox, 16 June 2016
Jo Cox's murder in June 2016 shocked the world. In the aftermath of her tragic death her husband Brendan Cox urged us to remember Jo's life and what she stood for and not the manner of her death.
In this moving and impassioned portrait of Jo - as daughter, mother, wife, sister, MP and activist - we see how much she gave and much more she had to give.
A touching and very human portrait of an extraordinary woman, whose legacy will inspire others.
'Jo would have no regrets about her life, she lived every day of it to the full.'
(P)2017 John Murray Press

Critic reviews
The story of Jo's life runs through the book: her childhood growing up in West Yorkshire; winning a place at Cambridge; working for Oxfam where she met Brendan; winning the seat for Labour in 2015 in her childhood constituency which fulfilled a lifelong dream... Jo comes across as a thoroughly decent person who was on a mission to change what she saw as an unjust world... And it is all utterly heart-breaking because you know as you read the book that all of this happiness, drive and energy is going to come to a sudden, needless and irrevocable end... This is not an easy read. It is overwhelmingly sad at times and the chapters that deal with the immediate aftermath of Jo's death, where Brendan wrestles with how to tell his children what has happened, are almost unbearable... While Jo Cox: More In Common is raw, painful and shot through with grief, it is also brave, inspiring and full of love.
A searingly honest and extremely moving book about Jo Cox, which gives us all a chance to get to know the woman behind the headlines and the shocking way she died. Jo comes across as a tiny ball of energy with a heart as big as a lion, a person who wanted to make a difference.
This feels like an important book, and it shows that a beautiful book can be written in clear, plain style - there is beauty enough in its subject.
Be ready. It will make you cry.

Would you consider the audio edition of Jo Cox to be better than the print version?
I have not seen the print version.What did you like best about this story?
Its a Family story - with the usual highs and lows of busy family life but including an intense personal tragedy - Jo's Murder. The narrative is constructed to inform so that we do not suffer more shock than is necessary. The experiences of the grieving family give a good example of how to involve children in the grief to give them the best chance of being able to cope in later life.I would like to hear the story of the next 20 years, maybe in 5 year blocks, but don't expect that any of it will be published for at least a generation so that this family may have the privacy all families deserve while they are growing up.
What does Luke Thompson and Heather Long bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
It is good to actually "hear" the story as if Brendon himself is reading it. The narration is very clear.Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Many moments moved me to tears.Very Moving
