About this book
Description
What happened to the girl you left behind? In 1916 French artist Edouard Lefevre leaves his wife Sophie to fight at the Front. When her town falls into German hands, his portrait of Sophie stirs the heart of the local Kommandant and causes her to risk everything - her family, reputation and life - in the hope of seeing Edouard again. Nearly a century later, Sophie's portrait is given to Liv by her young husband shortly before his sudden death. Its beauty speaks of their short life together, but when the painting's dark and passion-torn history is revealed, the first spark of love Liv has felt since is threatened... In The Girl You Left Behind two young women, separated by a century, are united in their determination to fight for the thing they love most - whatever the cost. Praise for Me Before You: 'Majestic, utterly compelling, tremendous. A heart-stopping read.' Independent on Sunday 'A triumph. Packs such an emotional punch, you'll need a box of tissues.' Elle 'Truly beautiful. Made us laugh, smile and sob like a baby - you simply have to read it.' Closer www.jojomoyes.com www.twitter.com/jojomoyes
