The Girl You Left Behind by Jojo Moyes
5.0

This book was fantastic. I really love the complex characters that JoJo Moyes creates, as well as the complicated and often emotionally charged situations they find themselves in. In this book, the author deftly weaves the past (world War 1 France and Germany) and the present into an overall compelling storyline that allows the truth to be known in a dynamic way. The parallels between the two storylines are not always obvious, which is satisfying when the connections are made. It's also,an interesting commentary on public opinion, both before and after the advent of the Internet...and interestingly we see that human nature has not changed. I highly recommend this book.
