The Girl You Left Behind

AMAZING book! It is the story of Sophie and her portrait painted by her husband in the First World War during the German occupation of France. The book interweaves seamlessly a century later in London with the story of Liv, now owner of the painting, as a legal battle for it ensues.

It is a long book I could hardly put down and didn't want to end. Sophie's story and what she endured stayed with me for a long time.

I highly recommend this book, it is now on my long list of most favorites!
