Summary
The novel «The Girl You Left Behind» by Jojo Moyes tells two parallel stories connected through a painting across a century. In 1916, in German-occupied France, a young woman named Sophie Lefevre struggles to survive and keep her family together while running a hotel. Her husband, artist Edouard Lefevre, has left her a portrait that catches the interest of the German commander. In 2006, in London, Liv Halston, recently widowed, receives this painting as a gift from her husband. When the Lefevre heirs demand its return, Liv embarks on a journey to preserve her past and uncover the truth about Sophie's fate. The story intertwines themes of love, loss, and the fight for justice.
