I'm probably done with this author. The storyline about Sophie and Eduoard during WWI kept me interested. The details and complications of the German Occupation seemed realistic and were thought provoking. The painting of Sophie deeply affected all who viewed it and I liked the way it linked the two plots. Sophie's persistent bravery in the face of harsh circumstances and pure evil was pretty darn amazing.
Here's the rub. That second modern day storyline just didn't cut it for me. Liv and Paul never felt fleshed out. Plus, that danged trial was ridiculously long and extremely contrived. I thought it would never end and did not care how it ended as long as it ended. I was sick of the painting and all of the characters by the end. Added to that, the author started to overwork the emotions/lessons to the point of cliches. "Most days now his loss is a part of her, an awkward weight she carries around, invisible to everyone else." Why not show us the effect of this weight instead of telling us about it?
"What it teaches us, Mr. MCafferty, is there's a whole lot more to life than winning." Come on. That's not a revelation worth driving home.
Me Before You was written by this author in 2012. Now this one in 2013. She needed to take more time with this one. I think she needs to hire an aggressive editor and pare her stories to their essential cores. But then, she didn't really ask me for my opinion.

"It was never about the painting, Sophie."
And there it was, confirmation of my fate.
3.25 stars. I loved so many things about this book, especially the historical story of Sophie and her Edouard. Their legacy was worth at least 4 and a half stars. Unfortunately, I felt the modern day story of Liv and Paul to have floundered on for such a lengthy amount of time that it almost took the focus away from the girl in the painting (who was in my opinion the star of the book and the reason for why everything was set in motion), and I could only give their portion of the story 2 stars at best.
Even with the Paul and Liv legal battle being drawn out for far too long, I am still happily loving so much about this book. I am glad that I read it. Jojo Moyes is an author who knows how to draw emotion out of a reader. Her depiction of a simple woman living in a French town under occupation from the German military in WWI (yes, I was shocked that someone decided to choose WWI instead of WWII for their story) had me stuck to the pages.
Part I : 1917 - Sophie's husband has been captured and moved to a prison camp. The most precious thing she has to remember him by is a painting that he created in her likeness, titled The Girl You Left Behind. This painting is so captivating, that it seems to enchant everyone who looks at it, including the Kommandant who is holding Sophie hostage. The painting sets in motion a series of events which has Sophie bartering the things that are most precious to her for one chance to see her husband again.
"What? Are you going to call me a whore too?
Helene looked at her feet. "I would not have danced with a German, Sophie."
Part II : Present Day - Liv is now in possession of The Girl You Left Behind, a gift from her now deceased husband. Through a series of unlikely circumstances, she learns to care for a man named Paul, who also has an unusual interest in the painting. Will these lovers-turned-opponents find a way to settle their differences, or will the painting destroy both of their lives?
"Look, I know this probably doesn't make any sense, but could we possibly forget about the case? Just for one evening?" Her voice is too vulnerable. "Could we just be two people again?"
Part II does include a few stolen moments of the life of Sophie from Part I, but I wanted more. The heartbreaking and intense life of this couple separated by war truly deserved more attention than their story got.
Sophie : But I refuse to take it down, no matter what Helene says. It reminds me of you, and of a time when we were happy together. It reminds me that humankind is capable of love and beauty as well as destruction.
Edouard : The men here clutch photographs of their loved ones like talismans, protection against the dark - crumpled, dirty images endowed with the properties of treasure. I need no photograph to conjure you before me, Sophie. I need only to close my eyes to recall your face, your voice, your scent, and you cannot know how much you comfort me. Know, my darling, that I mark each day not, like my fellow soldiers, as one that I am grateful to survive, but thanking God that each means I must surely be twenty-four hours closer to returning to you.
Love stories like this do not come along very often. The horror of war was not left out, but what shone through was the determination of loved ones to find each other again.
Although I would have wanted to balance the historical and modern day sides of the story in a more equal fashion, I do understand why the modern day battle for the painting was important. Both Sophie and Liv had to fight to hold on to what they valued, while dealing with the effects of being cast out from their comfort zones. Both women were truly fighters.
Normally, I am not a fan of epilogues, but I loved the way this story ended - emotional, yet still satisfying. This was a beautifully written story with a few unbalanced moments, but I appreciate what Moyes was trying to accomplish. This is not the first book I have read by this author, and it will certainly not be the last.

Se puede decir que estoy sin palabras! Sin respiraci贸n! No hace muchos d铆as una compa帽era de GR me dijo que Jojo Moyes era una apuesta segura, y qu茅 raz贸n ten铆a. Es, son, dos historias tan fascinantes, duras y tr谩gicas que... ufff! Sin lugar a dudas, una de las mejores novelas que he le铆do este a帽o :)

This is an astonishing novel which beautifully connects present and past in a tale of war and love.
The Girl You Left Behind has a dual time-frame narrative; the first part is seen through the eyes of a woman in occupied France in 1916, the second through one living in modern day London. I'm not generally a fan of historical literature, particularly one with a war setting, so I was slightly reluctant at the start of this novel. However, any doubts I had were washed away mere minutes after picking up the novel as the story within was so gripping that I could barely manage to put it down at all.
Part one of the novel is set mostly in the occupied French village St P茅ronne at the height of the first World War. Sophie LeF猫vre lives with her brother Aur茅lien, sister H茅l猫ne, and her sister's children in their former hotel La Coq, while her husband and brother-in-law are somewhere at the front but haven't been heard of for months. Their house used to be a decent hotel but stripped bare by the Germans there's little left of the glorious rooms where both Sophie and H茅l猫ne spent their wedding nights. The bar downstairs is still very lively during the day, though rations are low so the gathering of people has little to do with splurging on alcoholic drinks but more with finding solace amongst one another.
Author Jojo Moyes paints a sober picture of the town and its people that slowly turns more gritty as the story moves along; with neighbour turning on neighbour as the slightest of suspicions. Sophie witnesses the brutal impact the towns gossip can have first hand as the new German Kommandant takes a fancy first to Edouard's painting of Sophie, 'The Girl You Left Behind', and then also to the woman herself. Accused of being a collaborator Sophie feels she has nothing left to lose when she makes one final attempt to find her way back to Edouard.
At a crucial stage in Sophie's story we suddenly flick to London in 2006 and meet young widow Olivia Halston. Her husband died four years ago and despite friends and family urging her to move on she desperately clings to anything that remains of David. This means she's had to remortgage the house she lives in as she doesn't want to part with the architectural legacy David left behind.
When Live meets the charming Paul McCafferty she, for the first time since David's passing, finally feels she may have a chance at a romantic relationship again. That is, until she finds out that he works for a company that specialises in recovering stolen art and that a painting bought for her by David, 'The Girl You Left Behind', is currently being pursued by descendants of Edouard LeF猫vre.
What follows is Paul and Liv's search into the past, Sophie's past to be exact, to try and uncover the truth behind the painting's journey. Liv desperately tries to prove it was never stolen as the painting symbolises a little piece of David she doesn't want to part with. But on the opposite end Paul continues to find evidence to state the contrary and slowly Sophie sees the painting slipping away from her fingers.
Through the characters' combined research into the painting's history the reader picks up bits and pieces of Sophie's life after the story was left off in the novel. As Paul and Liv piece together the faith of the young woman who just as desperately tried to get back to Edouard as Sophie is trying to cling to the fragments of David she has not yet lost, so does the reader.
At this stage I honestly couldn't flip the pages quick enough to find out what had happened to Sophie and what would happen to the painting. Written incredibly engaging both stories were unfolding at a pace that keeps the reader on the edge of his or her seat for the duration of the novel. The final quarter in particular was revealing and an absolute emotional roller-coaster for me. I went from feeling sad when confronted with the suffering of both women central in the story, to angry at the inconsiderate and greedy people they come across, until finally a sense of serenity came over me as the novel came to satisfactory conclusion within its final pages.
Touching, moving, heart-breaking at times but heart-warming in the end, The Girl You Left Behind truly is one superb piece of writing. I wonder if it's too soon to start reading it again straight away? This time perhaps not flipping the pages quite as quickly as I've done before in my desperation to find out what would happen next, but instead relishing the beautiful words of author Jojo Moyes.
Too soon or not, one thing I will certainly do is add Moyes' back-catalogue to my to-read list as I've found a new inspiring author that I certainly want to read more of.

::: FULL REVIEW NOW POSTED ::::
So I鈥檓 going to be honest and say that I鈥檓 rather shocked that a) I read this, and b) I really liked it! This was a completely random book choice for me. Prior to yesterday, it wasn鈥檛 even on my reading radar. But when I read the blurb, I was intrigued by the dual storyline and decided to try a few pages鈥� and then, even though on so many levels it鈥檚 just not my kind of book, I read it straight through to the very end!
It helped that another one of this author鈥檚 books, Me Before You, is one of my all-time favorites and I鈥檝e been meaning to try more of her books for a while so that was a huge part of why I decided to try this one. Actually, this book would make a great Book Club read if anyone鈥檚 looking for something like that 鈥� there are so many possible interesting discussion topics within the story.
The genre is fully Women鈥檚 Fiction (not a Romance at all). The storyline alternated between the past in World War 1, and the present day 鈥� giving two sides of the same story which revolves around a painting. Here鈥檚 the official blurb:
The first 35% of the story is about Sophie, the woman in the painting called 鈥淭he Girl You Left Behind鈥�. Living in a small German-occupied French village during World War 1, she does her best to survive and keep her family safe. Her character fascinated me. She was a sharp, intelligent, fearless woman who was like this calm point amid the brutality and chaos surrounding her. I loved reading about her.
I was utterly captivated by this part of the story. Even though I鈥檓 generally not a fan of historical romance, I find myself always drawn to wartime books. I find the bravery, resilience, and strength of the characters who go through it (and hopefully survive) compelling and deeply admirable.
The second part of the story, beginning after 35%, takes us to the present day and focuses on Liv, a widow who is now in possession of 鈥淭he Girl You Left Behind鈥� painting 鈥� a honeymoon present from her late husband who purchased it on a street from a woman who had no interest in keeping it. When she invites the man she鈥檚 dating home, he sees the painting and her life is turned on end. He recognizes it and his company is tasked with reuniting families affected by the war with their rightful possessions which had often been stolen or looted. Thus begins an ugly court case fighting literally over who actually had the legal right to own this painting 鈥� which at this point, is worth millions. The family just wants it for the money (not that they鈥檇 admit that), Liv doesn鈥檛 care about the money, she has a deep connection to the painting and also wants it as a memory of her husband 鈥� she genuinely loves it. In order to prove that she has the rights to own it, she has to dig through the past and find out what really happened to Sophie, and how the painting could possibly have actually ended up with her after all these years鈥�
OK. This is the point that shocked me. I鈥檓 not an art person at all 鈥� like really, zero interest. And I rarely read anything other than romance. I also wouldn鈥檛 personally ever contest anyone over any painting. And yet here I was absorbed in book literally centered around the ownership of a painting. It was such an odd, almost alternate reality moment for me. I felt totally out of my element, and yet quite enjoyed it.
My only complaint is that I didn鈥檛 connect strongly with the present-day storyline, especially at first. Maybe I was just so 鈥榠nto鈥� the WW1 storyline that I didn鈥檛 want to leave it yet at 35% but something about the way the present was written seemed a little 鈥榖land鈥� in contrast to the vivid imagery of the past鈥� I just wasn鈥檛 as invested. From about 35 鈥� 53%, it dragged a little for me and I honestly borderline skimmed鈥� But then it picked up and from about 53% to the end, it was quite good. Also it helped that around 70%, we went back to the past and got to see more of what happened then 鈥� I loved that!
While I don鈥檛 want to give too much away, I will say that the story has a very satisfying ending 鈥� especially for a Fiction novel. One of the reasons I鈥檓 wary of reading non-Romance books is that they don鈥檛 always have endings that are satisfying enough for me. But this one genuinely tied up all the loose ends.
For rating, I鈥檇 give the 鈥減ast鈥� story 4.5 stars, and the 鈥減resent鈥� story 3.5 stars鈥� so that would round the overall rating to 4 stars for me. In complete honesty, this isn鈥檛 a 鈥榙rop-everything-to-read-it鈥� book (at least, in my opinion), but it was still quite good and I enjoyed it! Check it out if you鈥檙e curious!
Rating: 4 stars. Women鈥檚 Fiction standalone.

5 stars!
I'm so glad that I'm stingy with 5 star ratings so that I can save them for when I really mean it!
The Girl You Left Behind is the story of Sophie Lefevre who is living in occupied France 1916, and Liv Halston who lives in modern day London 2006. These two women are connected by a painting, a portrait of Sophie painted by her husband Edouard, called "The Girl You Left Behind". This was quite a story, and I honestly think Jojo Moyes is in a class all her own for pulling it off. She did such an amazing job of intertwining their stories, I was completely absorbed in this book, especially Sophie's story.
It's silly that I avoid historical romance, because when done well, it's really interesting. I love this author and it took Ami reading it first and loving it for me to read it. This is my 5th book by Jojo Moyes, and I've loved them all for different reasons. The books are all very different from each other, but then I see common ties also. All of her books seem to have a character who is facing a life changing decision, or moral dilemma. I love that she isn't preachy, but she does make you think about the shades of grey when it comes to morality. People are often so judgmental, even though they have no idea what it's like to be in that person's situation. Her writing is so great, you can't help but be invested in her characters and their stories. Even if I haven't agreed with the decisions the characters make, I still empathize with them and understand where they are coming from. I feel for them. In this book, Sophie has to make a decision, I won't get into it because of spoilers, but the whole scene was so vivid and intense for me, I woke up in the middle of the night thinking about it. I couldn't sleep until I knew what happened to her. Ms. Moyes just did an amazing job of bringing this time period to life. I loved the way the story came together in the end.
One last thing, I would recommend for anyone reading this to read the prequel, first! I didn't realize how important that was until I read this one.
Anyway, thanks for the rec Ami. You know me so well;)
I'm so glad that I'm stingy with 5 star ratings so that I can save them for when I really mean it!
The Girl You Left Behind is the story of Sophie Lefevre who is living in occupied France 1916, and Liv Halston who lives in modern day London 2006. These two women are connected by a painting, a portrait of Sophie painted by her husband Edouard, called "The Girl You Left Behind". This was quite a story, and I honestly think Jojo Moyes is in a class all her own for pulling it off. She did such an amazing job of intertwining their stories, I was completely absorbed in this book, especially Sophie's story.
It's silly that I avoid historical romance, because when done well, it's really interesting. I love this author and it took Ami reading it first and loving it for me to read it. This is my 5th book by Jojo Moyes, and I've loved them all for different reasons. The books are all very different from each other, but then I see common ties also. All of her books seem to have a character who is facing a life changing decision, or moral dilemma. I love that she isn't preachy, but she does make you think about the shades of grey when it comes to morality. People are often so judgmental, even though they have no idea what it's like to be in that person's situation. Her writing is so great, you can't help but be invested in her characters and their stories. Even if I haven't agreed with the decisions the characters make, I still empathize with them and understand where they are coming from. I feel for them.

A satisfying read! 鈥淭he Girl You Left Behind鈥� is the title of a portrait painted in Paris, 1912. In this novel, Moyes weaves a WWI historical fiction story with a current London suspense/love story. In both stories, the themes of passion, art, love, commitment and trust are explored. In the London storyline, the portrait was purchased by a young couple honeymooning in Spain, unknowing of it鈥檚 history. The family of the artist wants the portrait back, citing that it had been pillaged in war. Moyes spoon feeds the reader historical information regarding the portrait while simultaneously writing a current day fiction story. The reader learns of the horrors of war, WWI in France to be exact. The reader also learns of the business of recovering art that was stolen from war prisoners, and the laws to get the art legally back to the original owners/families. This is an absorbing read because of the history and the emotional tolls. Moyes has become one of my favorite authors because her work is easy to read; it鈥檚 captivating, and it鈥檚 gratifying.

5 stars
I wasn't planning on writing a review for this book I thought my 5 star rating spoke for itself. But its been 9 days since I read this and I can't get this book out of my head. I love JoJo's writing. This is my favourite of hers to date (out of the 4 books I have read). BTW I love the way this book ended.

This feels like a particularly apt moment to say that I abandoned this book as part of my no-books-featuring-romantic-relationships-with-oppressive-sexist-gross-first-half-of-20th-century-German-enemy-soldiers-in-general policy.
Can you believe that it's 2017 and this is the third time I've had to disavow that trope this goddamn week?
Anyway. This isn't a review of twenty-first century America, so I'll move on. (But don't you kinda wish it was? Not even a little? Got it.)
After I really loved Me Before You, I a) immediately fell into a slump and b) attempted to remedy said slump by acquiring as many Jojo Moyes books as possible. And I've learned that liking that book, which I am terrified I'll reread and hate and hence will forever avoid, may have been my sole positive Moyes experience.
No, that's not true. I met her at a library event in the city once, and she had a perfect accent and was very nice and noticed that I had brought my own copies of her books, which was very endearing, and then charmingly and British-ly said, "A bookworm, isn't she? Lovely." Or something to that effect.
And One Plus One wasn't bad. But this book is.
It felt alternately boring and overwrought, and I initially picked this up pretty soon after reading All the Light We Cannot See, and it's really just unfair to authors everywhere to pick up chick-lit historical fiction after picking up Pulitzer Prize-winning historical fiction.
So I put this down for a while, and then I picked it back up, and then I determined picking it up again was the wrong choice and promptly put it back on my shelf to take up space and go unread.
Probably I'll sell it.
But in all seriousness, I'll likely have an eternal soft spot for Jojo Moyes, will probably pick up her next book if it comes out within the next year (I don't know if she has one lined up but whatever) - AND IF IT DOESN'T FOCUS ON LOUISA AGAIN, BECAUSE GOD F*CKING DAMN IT AFTER YOU RUINED MY LIFE.
AND NOT IN THE GOOD WAY.
(the other thing I was trying to say before distracting myself was that this book is not for me, but it could be, quite possibly, for you.)
(this is part of a project I'm doing in which I write mini-reviews of books I read a while back. the unintentional joke is that they become less and less "mini" with each passing day.)

Heerlijke feelgood roman...echt vakantie leesvoer!
Het verhaal behelst twee liefdesverhalen...afspelend in WOI en in het heden...met als verbindende factor het schilderij van Sophie. Het verhaal is goed geschreven en leest lekker weg...echter...het laat geen blijvende indruk achter.

Hola, resaca lectora m谩s insoportable de mi vida y sensaci贸n de "jam谩s encontrar茅 un libro que me guste tanto como este". Qu茅 bonito, qu茅 intenso y qu茅 todo. Perfecto.

It鈥檚 WWI and Sophie鈥檚 husband (painter Edouard) has left to fight in the war. Sophie moves back to her family鈥檚 hotel during his absence, which has now been occupied by the Germans. In an effort to maintain some semblance of normalcy, Sophie has kept a portrait of herself, painted by Edouard, hanging on the hotel wall and the local Kommandant has found himself drawn to it. Sophie will offer everything she has to become this woman once again for the Kommandant in hopes of reuniting with her spouse.
Fastforward almost 100 years to recent widow Liv. Sophie鈥檚 portrait was purchased by her late husband as a wedding gift for his new bride. Now an organization whose task is to recover artwork stolen from families during war times has discovered the painting and wants to give it back to the rightful owner. Much like Sophie, Liv will find herself risking everything in order to keep the final piece of her husband in her possession.
I鈥檓 fairly certain this will be the review that gets me some enemies. Sadly, I just didn鈥檛 feel this novel at all. I had no choice but to compare this to 鈥淢e Before You鈥� which maintains its ranking as one of my favorites this year. 鈥淭he Girl You Left Behind鈥� just didn鈥檛 have the same kind of life. In what should have been a book that could have sent my emotions reeling (WWI, sickness, starvation, death, capture, loneliness, bankruptcy, etc., etc.), I just felt . . . . . . . nothing. The WWI story seemed like I had read something similar before one too many times and Liv鈥檚 story felt underworked. Some parts were rambly, others too brief. The back-and-forth time changes seemed out of place with over 100 pages devoted to telling Sophie鈥檚 story while you wouldn鈥檛 even know Liv existed if you had not read the book jacket. This is followed with a snippet of Liv鈥檚 story before jumping back 100 years once more. Some more time on the editor鈥檚 desk might have helped me enjoy this one more, but I think it would still be 3 stars max.

This was totally unexpected. After reading Me Before You, I was all geared up to have my emotions raked across the rocks (in a good way), and this wasn't that. It wasn't a bad story, but it's always difficult to readjust expectations.
Sophie is an artist's wife living in occupied France. On the wall of her hotel hangs a portrait of her, painted by her husband. It's daring and sexy in a way Sophie struggles to see herself and it catches the eye of the Kommandant who craves Sophie. When she discovers that her husband has been taken prisoner and likely to die, she gives up a part of herself to the Kommandant to save her husband's life.
Many years later, we meet Liv, a widow with money troubles and a painting given to her by her husband. It becomes the subject of controversy when the family of Sophie's husband claims it was stolen during the war and rightfully belongs to the estate. Liv fights passionately to keep the painting because of the connection to her deceased husband, but as she fights she learns Sophie's story and starts to fight for something else.
While I adored Sophie's story, I struggled with Liv's. From the beginning I wasn't sure what she was fighting for or why. Her need to hold on to this painting felt arbitrary and silly, especially when giving it up could have solved many, if not all, of her financial concerns.

An outstanding narrator added extra appeal to this already excellent book. Male to female, French/German accents were very, very good. Two timelines joined together by a painting done in war time, and the struggle to find its rightful owner in the new millennium.
Historical fiction is not my genre of choice, therefore I did enjoy the latter current day story more, but as a whole, I did enjoy this novel. Jojo Moyes is an author of talent and I look forward to getting to all of her books at some stage.
I wholeheartedly recommend the audio version, it played out an all rounded performance with scenes of angst and desperation. Tied in unobtrusively was a lovely element of romance. Lovely book!

3.5 Moyes is very good at creating dilemmas and very real people who have to deal with them. In this book it is the Germans in 1916, taking over their little French town, and deciding to have Sophie cook for the Kommandant and his men. Of course she really has no choice in the matter, she is hoping to stay alive and protect her family, so that when her husband Eduard returns, they are all still alive. How much would one do to keep their family safe, to protect them and hopefully save them. That is the dilemma and though it seems she has little choice, there is always a choice, good or bad. This part of the story was excellent and reminded me a little of The Baker's Daughter. It is a picture that will connect the two story-lines.
When one writes with dual time frames, I feel they are always taking a risk. One story is usually stronger than the other and can weaken the whole story. The story taking place nearly a century later, concerns a young woman, who must fight her deceased husband's family for the rights to own this painting. This part of the story I did not like as much. It was not as strong, though the descriptions were solid, the emotional connection was not there, at least not for me.
Yet, one cannot go wrong reading her novels, she gets people, she gets the little things that make up a life, the problems people and families deal with daily. She has a depth to most of her characters that many writing this kind of fiction, just don;t. I am looking forward to her next book, which I believe is publishing fairly soon.

Paris, World War I. Sophie Lefevre must keep her family safe while her adored husband, Edouard, fights at the front. When their town falls to the Germans, Sophie is forced to serve them every evening at her hotel. From the moment the new Kommandant sets eyes on Sophie鈥檚 portrait鈥攑ainted by her artist husband鈥攁 dangerous obsession is born. Almost a century later in London, Sophie鈥檚 portrait hangs in the home of Liv Halston, a wedding gift from her young husband before his sudden death. After a chance encounter reveals the portrait鈥檚 true worth, a battle begins over its troubled history and Liv鈥檚 world is turned upside all over again.

Un libro maravilloso!!!
Tan incre铆ble que me dejo en shock!
隆JOJO MOYES LO HA VUELTO A HACER!
El libro tiene dos historias y se dividen en dos partes.
La primera parte del libro es la historia de Sophie en el a帽o 1916, es una historial desgarradora. La narraci贸n es en primera persona por Sophie, lo cual es excelente, lo que hemos le铆do a Jojo sabemos que su pluma es exquisita, el ritmo que es muy bueno por lo que la autora consigue meterte entre las p谩ginas desde el principio y que no puedes parar de leer. Los momentos de tensi贸n son demasiados dadas las circunstancias que viven la protagonista en todo su entorno, ya que la historia se desarrolla durante la primera guerra mundial.
La segunda parte del libro nos sit煤a en 2006, alrededor de 90 a帽os despu茅s y, obviamente, con una nueva protagonista. El nexo de uni贸n entre ambas historias es el cuadro de Sophie que fue pintado por su marido y todo lo que ha sucedido desde entonces. Esta segunda parte tambi茅n me ha gustado mucho, me encanta Liv, en comparaci贸n con muchos he sentido m谩s empat铆a por Liv, me gusto mucho su historia y como se va desarrollando, creo que Liv tiene una mayor evoluci贸n y crecimiento, ni que decir de Paul, me ha robado el coraz贸n, como siempre Jojo creando protagonistas que nos roban el coraz贸n. En esta parte hay referencias al pasado por lo que la historia de Sophie continua presente.
Dos historias que nos hablan de amor (tanto en pareja, como en familia, etc.) de superaci贸n personal, supervivencia y de pasi贸n por la vida, de como hay veces que nos dejamos que alguna parte de nosotros muera pero tenemos seguir adelante y superarnos.
Las escenas de intensidad y tensi贸n est谩n descritos de una manera extraordinariamente brillante y para los momentos m谩s delicados mantiene una narraci贸n muy elegante. Me ha dejado muy satisfecha, que estoy empezando a borrar el malestar que sufr铆 con "Yo despu茅s de ti". Creo que el secreto fue que al empezar tuve pocas expectativas, porque sin duda es un libro que se quedara en mi coraz贸n.

OMG. I have no words. perfection. Okay so i'm still crying and this review might suck but here we go.. I loved loved loved this book!!! I love all things old and historic,so reading about World War I,and France, was really such a blissful thing to do. The first war hasn't got that much publicity as much as the second world war,so it was interesting reading about it (i kept thinking of Downton Abbey xD ). The scenery,circumstances and characters were built so carefully. Sophie and Liv both were not perfect people,they had their flaws and that made them real, but they were both worthy of being called heroines. I loved the way Jojo connected the two stories and then the whole painting thing was so magnificent!! I also appreciated the fact that Sophie wasn't able to move past her husband,whereas Liv could eventually, it shows us that even in similar circumstances people might chose differently,that of course doesn't mean that LIv loved David any less.
OH OH one other big thing for me in this book was that Moyes proves that humanity is a complex species and sometimes its easier for the majority to choose to black or white,rather than choosing that things could be grey. the villagers were so keen on being mean and heartless to 'traitors',and then people were keen on abusing and cursing on Liv because they thought she've done wrong. Its obvious that our society sternly believes that someone is 'guilty until proven innocent' and not the other way around. Easy to judge, people made the lives of Sophie and Liv unbearable.
I'm also so so happy that Jojo decided to end it so beautifully. I expected something horrible but instead i got a perfect ending. This book deserves more credit and i'm so glad i chose to read it. Mind-blowing. Romantic. Historic. Thought Provoking. Thrilling. Lots of suspense. Brilliant book 鈾�

"The Girl You Left Behind" is Jojo Moyes's follow-up to "Me Before You" and packs just as much emotional punch. The book is separated into two parts, the storylines taking place almost one hundred years apart. The first involves, young Sophie, wife of French artist, Edouard Lefevre, fighting at the front lines in World War I. Sophie, her sister Helene, Helene's two young children, and their teenage brother Aurelien are living in a town under German occupation. When the newly appointed Kommandant decides that the family's hotel is the perfect place for his soldiers to eat, suspicions and whispers began to grow against Sophie. Neighbors quickly turn away as they feel that the Kommandant wants to possess more than just the painting of Sophie that hangs in the motels living room.
Flash forward to London 2006, Liv Halston, still dealing with the death of her handsome and ambitious husband, David. One random night when Liv is feeling low, she meets Paul, a young American ex-cop now turned art investigator. The two embark on a relationship that will soon see both coming into contact with the mysterious disappearance of Sophie and the strange history of " The Girl You Left Behind Painting"
Jojo Moyes once again tugs at the heartstrings and delivers a book that will make you want to reread as soon as you're finished reading it.

She has been asking me to read this book for a year and a half. I鈥檝e put it off and off because it seemed lackluster. She swore it was a favorite of hers.
Well, I checked for audiobooks on Libby that were immediately available and this popped up. I decided to give it a shot. I鈥檓 SO glad I did!
This is fantastic. I love the story. Not just of the characters but of the painting. For half the book, I couldn鈥檛 understand why anyone would care this much about a painting. But by the end I felt an attachment to it as well.
I love how all the stories weave together and changed the others in some way.
This is a great book.

This book was really exciting in the beginning.... and then a lot of slow-moving information that was not very interesting. I did not like the 2nd set of characters much and their fight over the painting was boring and trivial. The narrator did AMAZING with Sophie, but my goodness, those nasally man voices were excruciating, especially Edmound.
Overall I am left at thinking this one was only ok, nothing more. A great start to a slow, drawn-out fizzle for me.

Tematska zada膰a book kluba, ipak velja膷a, pa neka bude ljubavno.. Na listi za 膷itanje mi stoji od kada se pojavila, tako da sam ju i ovako i onako mislila 膷itati. A i veliki plus mi je bila njezina 鈥濼u sam pred tobom鈥� pri膷a, tako da su o膷ekivanja bila vrlo visoka. Na啪alost, to se uvijek poka啪e kao jako lo拧 start. Barem kod mene..
Tre膰ina knjige kao uvod (mogli smo to sve skupa doznati i na dvadesetak stranica, jer se ponavljaju doga膽aji) nikako nije pozitivna stvar, jer ako te ne zainteresira, lako je mogu膰e i odsutajanje. Ponadala sam se da 膰e taj 鈥瀗oviji鈥� dio biti bolji, ali nai拧la sam na vrlo naporne i iritatne likove koji mozak ba拧 previ拧e i ne koriste. - Tu se vidi poveznica s onim uvodom i 啪enskim likom iz pri膷e iz prvog svjetskog rata (uz ostale stvari).
Romati膷nu ljubav nisam ba拧 do啪ivjela, kao ni ozbiljnost likova koji bi mi u bilo kojem pogledu bili uzor ili bilo 拧to pozitivno. Nisam se ni nasmijala, ve膰 sam cijelo vrijeme 膷itanja bila u nekom 鈥瀞vejedno mi je鈥� osje膰aju. Na kraju mi je ve膰 bilo skorz ravno 拧to 膰e biti i sa slikom i s cijelom tom ekipom. Sve situacije su prenategnute i ja im nisam povjerovala ni sekundu..
Jedno veliko meh od mene! :P
鈥濨rak te ne nau膷i ni拧ta o ljubavi... ali nau膷i te da je mnogo toga u 啪ivotu va啪nije nego imati pravo i pobijediti.鈥�
鈥濻ve mi mogu uzeti, 拧to se mene ti膷e. Jedino 拧to je va啪no su ljudi. Va啪ni su samo ljudi koje voli拧.鈥�
鈥濶itko vi拧e ne slu拧a. Svi znanju 拧to 啪ele 膷uti, ali zapravo vi拧e nitko ne slu拧a.鈥�

Another great read by Jojo Moyes. She sure knows how to write a powerful story, all the while weaving in polarizing topics, and different topic strands & well developed characters. Most of her protagonists feel like good friends by the end of the book.
The Girl You Left Behind is actually a painting with an unresolved past. Two stories interweave telling us what happened to both women and how this single portrait of Sophie Lefevre impacted so many lives.
Sophie Lefevre, a hotel owner, ends up living in Occupied France, with German troops taking over her hotel every night. Food, and supplies are scarce, and Sophie's husband is fighting for the Allies during WWI. Eduoard is a painter and falls in love with Sophie, capturing her confidence and allure in a portrait. Sophie ends up making some difficult choices and gets taken away in a cattle car towards a work camp.
Fast forward almost 100 years later to Liv Halston, a copywriter living in the Glass House designed by her deceased husband. She is lost and alone, The Girl You Left Behind, a wedding present from her husband is the only thing worth fighting for. So, when descendants of the Lefevre family come claiming restitution for the painting, Liv prepares to lose everything to save the one thing that saved her when she needed it most.
