The Girl You Left Behind
by Jojo Moyes
Man, this was awesome! What a little gem of a story. Generally, I don't do romance or books packaged and marketed with women in mind. Enter [a:Jojo Moyes|281810|Jojo Moyes|https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1400624880p2/281810.jpg]. The woman is amazing! I can read anything she writes. Fact! Even when it's average - [b:The Last Letter from Your Lover|10163292|The Last Letter from Your Lover|Jojo Moyes|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1426973390s/10163292.jpg|11340098], I'M LOOKING AT YOU!
Full disclosure: this was an audio book for me and the two fabulous narrators probably helped, especially the French one. But I loved both angles of the story, all the characters felt real and I was particularly taken with Jojo's visions of early 20th century, war-stricken France - it would appear I've been in a historical fiction mood lately.
I don't believe this one is quite as good as [b:Me Before You|15507958|Me Before You|Jojo Moyes|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1357108762s/15507958.jpg|17763198], which is still my number 1 of hers, but I really enjoyed it and it's definitely got itself a spot on my "favourites" shelf!
This is quite a long audio (14+ hours) and I'm glad I started it on a weekend when I'd planned to do a lot of sewing so I could listen to it in long sessions.
