The Girl You Left Behind
by Jojo Moyes
The story jumps back in forth in time, modern day London and 1916 France. While it is a dual timeline, the story was still easy to follow. In the present day, Liv is fighting to keep in her position a painting that her deceased husband gifted to her. That painting is called The Girl You Left Behind. Said photo is of Sophie - which her painter husband painted of her in 1916 before he was sent off to war shortly after the Germans occupied France.
The Girl You Left Behind has a very interesting premise with an engaging story. The main focus of this century long story are Liv and Sophie, but as the story goes on, lots of characters are introduced, including Paul, who is the man that Liv meets and starts to date during her fight for the painting. The secondary characters, both then and now all add an additional and purposeful layer of drama and depth to the storylines. We experience love then loss with Sofie and then we get to experience the opposite of a loss followed by love with Liv.
