The Girl You Left Behind – Jojo Moyes

Two women, separated by nearly a century, are linked by a portrait and their determination to protect what they love.

In occupied France during the First World War, Sophie Lefèvre struggles to keep her family safe while her husband fights at the front. Forced to serve German officers at her hotel, she finds herself in danger when the Kommandant becomes fascinated by the portrait her husband painted of her.

Almost a century later, the painting belongs to Liv Halston in London, a treasured gift from her late husband. When its troubled history resurfaces, a battle over its ownership threatens to upend the life she is trying to rebuild.

Perfect for readers who love dual timelines, wartime secrets, art mysteries and emotionally charged stories of love and sacrifice. If you liked The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah or The Forgotten Garden by Kate Morton, you’ll like this.
