The Girl You Left Behind

From the New York Times best-selling author of Me Before You a spellbinding love story of two women separated by a century but united in their determination to fight for what they love most France 1916: Artist Edouard Lefevre leaves his young wife Sophie to fight at the front. When their small town falls to the Germans in the midst of World War I Edouard's portrait of Sophie draws the eye of the new Kommandant. As the officer's dangerous obsession deepens Sophie will risk everything - her family her reputation and her life - to see her husband again. Almost a century later Sophie's portrait is given to Liv Halston by her young husband shortly before his sudden death. A chance encounter reveals the painting's true worth and a battle begins for who its legitimate owner is - putting Liv's belief in what is right to the ultimate test. Like Sarah Blake's The Postmistress and Tatiana de Rosnay's Sarah's Key The Girl You Left Behind is a breathtaking story of love loss and sacrifice told with Moyes's signature ability to capture our hearts.
