The Girl You Left Behind // Jojo Moyes [english]

”Jojo Moyes expertly weaves a bittersweet tale in this irresistible novel, taking careful interest in the dark corners that exist within great love stories, and the trickiness of simple happy endings.”
Entertainment Weekly

”Moyes writes delicious plots, with characters so clearly imagined they leap off the pages in high-definition prose.”
USA Today

A novel in two timelines. In occupied France in 1916, Sophie Lefèvre keeps her family hotel running under a German commander who becomes fixated on the portrait her husband painted of her. A century later the same painting hangs in Liv Halston's London house, until a claim over its wartime past reaches court.

Jojo Moyes is a British writer and former journalist. Her novel Me Before You sold millions of copies and was filmed in 2016 with Emilia Clarke and Sam Claflin.

For readers who like wartime fiction and moral questions with no clean answer. What stays with readers is Sophie's half of the story.

Hard to find in good condition, this edition is no longer sold new in bookshops.

”The Girl You Left Behind is strong, provocative, satisfying fiction.”
The Washington Post

”This is an astonishing novel which beautifully connects present and past in a tale of war and love.”
