The Girl You Left Behind

Author: Jojo Moyes

In 1916 France, Sophie’s portrait becomes a symbol of hope for her village under German occupation. A century later, Liv discovers the painting’s turbulent history. As she unravels Sophie’s tale of love and sacrifice, Liv finds herself drawn into a battle over the artwork’s rightful ownership. Moyes weaves a captivating story of two women separated by time but united by an extraordinary piece of art, exploring themes of love, loss, and the power of perseverance in the face of adversity.

I was beginning to understand that sometimes you have to be your own hero.
