Flash forward to London 2006, Liv Halston, still dealing with the death of her handsome and ambitious husband, David.

The first involves, young Sophie, wife of French artist, Edouard Lefevre, fighting at the front lines in World War I. Despite the better option right in front of her, an unexpected complication forces Lily to cut ties with Atlas, confront Ryle, and try to end the cycle of abuse before it’s too late. Any "Author Information" displayed below reflects the author's biography at the time this particular book was published. The commandant tells Sophie that he will provide the food, and she and her sister will cook and serve it (and the wine) with appropriate hospitality.We build and maintain all our own systems, but we don’t charge for access, sell user information, or run ads. This was a beautifully written story with a few unbalanced moments, but I appreciate what Moyes was trying to accomplish.

Soon, that world is upended: The Germans march into Paris and refugees flee south, overrunning Viann’s land. After a chance encounter reveals the portrait’s true worth, a battle begins over its troubled history and Liv’s world is turned upside all over again. Almost a century later, Sophie's portrait is given to Liv Halston by her young husband shortly before his sudden death.

But the thing I have come to see as true for every book over the years is that it is okay to make characters complex and flawed and not always able to do the right thing—and that keeping them apart is as important as getting them together. La narración es en primera persona por Sophie, lo cual es excelente, lo que hemos leído a Jojo sabe Even if I haven't agreed with the decisions the characters make, I still empathize with them and understand where they are coming from. Los momentos de tensión son demasiados dadas las circunstancias que viven la protagonista en todo su entorno, ya que la historia se desarrolla durante la primera guerra mundial.

Hannah’s new novel is an homage to the extraordinary courage and endurance of Frenchwomen during World War II. I love all things old and historic,so reading about World War I,and France, was really such a blissful thing to do.It's daring and sexy in a way Sophie struggles to see herself and it catches the eye of the Kommandant who craves Sophie. I met her at a library event in the city once, and she had a perfect accent and was very nice and noticed that I had brought my own copies of her books, which was very endearing, and then charmingly and British-ly said, "A bookworm, isn't she? He recognizes it and his company is tasked with reuniting families affected by the war with their rightful possessions which had often been stolen or looted.

But learning that Édouard is being held in a particularly harsh “reprisal” camp, she must decide what she will sacrifice for Édouard’s freedom.

Had I known that Jojo Moyes had twice won the Romantic Novel of the Year Award, “The Girl You Left Behind” would quickly have become the book I left behind — which would have been a big mistake.
