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 ...more

"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 ...more

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 ...more

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. *****5 stars!*****

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, Honeymoon in Paris 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;)

This is quite a borderline great book, with its talented author, and detailed characters, all making for a read never restrained by the tag 'chick lit' it carries. The story encompasses the overlapping of history and geography.

It's not unlike a Jeffrey Archer book. But while Archer can only do so much, and has recourse of deaths to drum up drama, this book can do all of that without resorting to ultimate means. Here the deaths are few and pack a mean punch to the gut when they occur.

It’s WWI and Sophie’s husband (painter Edouard) has left to fight in the war. Sophie moves back to her family’s 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’s 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’m fairly certain this will be the review that gets me some enemies. Sadly, I just didn’t feel this novel at all. I had no choice but to compare this to “Me Before You” which maintains its ranking as one of my favorites this year. “The Girl You Left Behind” just didn’t 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’s 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’s story while you wouldn’t even know Liv existed if you had not read the book jacket. This is followed with a snippet of Liv’s story before jumping back 100 years once more. Some more time on the editor’s 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 ...more

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 ...more

The book is separated into two parts, the storylines taking place almost one hundred years apart.

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 ...more

Yes The Girl You Left Behind is a great read, but it's not the tear-jerker that is Me Before You.

Thankfully Moyes did not disappoint with her latest. Many who have read and loved Me Before You will expect The Girl You Left Behind to blow them away equally. Let me begin by saying that will not be the case here. Yes The Girl You Left Behind is a great read, but it's not the tear-jerker that is Me Before You.

The Girl You Left Behind begins in St. Peronne, during October of 1916. Those familiar with history will notice that this is during the time when Northern France was invaded by Germans. The small village of St. Peronne is where Sophie meets Herr Kommandat. He's the law of the land so to speak in this town. He can take what he wants, offer what he wants, kill whomever he wants, and save anyone he wants.

Sophie runs a hotel that she's inherited after the death of her father. Herr Kommandat comes to this hotel in search of somewhere to feed his men. He is then entranced with the woman in the painting. Sophie tells Herr Kommandat that the portrait is of her, drawn by her husband. It is all she has left, besides his letters, to remember him while he is fighting in the war. Sophie insists that someday she will be the girl in the portrait again. She'll be the girl her husband left behind.

Eventually Herr Kommandat and Sophie have an odd sort of relationship. I think he respects her fearless nature. She's appreciative of the things he can do for her. The rations have taken a toll on her family so she appears to be cavorting with the enemy. But instead, she is really hoping he will help her to free her husband.

Sophie's story is the real highlight of this novel. Her character has such strength and resilience that she's the type of character readers can really stand behind. The harsh realities of war makes her storyline most interesting coupled with Jojo Moyes great character development. I could have easily read about Sophie and her harrowing journey across war-torn Europe.

In the second half of the book we are introduced to Olivia(Liv) Halston. Liv currently is in possession of the Sophie's portrait aptly named The Girl You Left Behind. It is one of the last things Liv finds comfort in as she's coping with the death of her husband David. The only catch is that her husband has been dead four years and it seems been in a state of pause. She doesn't want to see old friends, entertain the idea of dating again, or really escape the depressing world she's created for her self. She's the exact opposite of Sophie.

There are two seperate storylines in this novel but it's obvious that the first Sophie's storyline is strongest. Her's is most engaging and interesting. Even the trial was too quick it seemed... or... just not suspenseful enough the way most trials are. This is the only flaw I can find with The Girl You Left Behind. I didn't find Liv very inspiring. I do find the love story's in the background of each story to be sufficient for those who like their heart strings tugged. I found the Liv's love life to be forced for the sake of the story and relied on fate way too much.

The Girl You Left Behind does bring to light the issue of priceless family heirlooms that were confiscated from the homes of people never to be returned again. Moments in history where people had to part with items that may have seemingly been so important begs the reader to ask themselves what's really important? Items or people? Each woman has to deal with what they can or can't live without and I think they both choose wisely. "The only thing that matters is people"

Overall, Jojo Moyes' The Girl You Left Behind is still a great novel. When I wasn't reading it I was counting down the minutes until I'd be able to read it again. Like I noted previously, in my opinion it is not the tear-jerker that was Me Before You for anyone who's basing their decision to read, or not read, on that fact alone. Jojo Moyes has definitely found her way on to the list of author's I will read whenever they decide to grace the world with another story. This novel comes highly recommended for her fans as well as lover's of women's fiction with a little history thrown in for good measure.

I had to keep reminding myself that this was set during WW1 as it was so easy to think the story was set in WW2.

The lives and difficulties of Sophie and her sister Helene were very well portrayed and the hardships suffered as a result of the German occupation of their town were so believable. Sophie, in particular, was a very engaging character and in the absence of both her own beloved husband Edouard and Helene’s husband who were away fighting for their country, she was the lynchpin of the family. The title of the story refers to a portrait of Sophie, painted by her artist husband and is one of her most treasured possessions. Unfortunately for Sophie, the local Kommandant also takes a liking to the portrait and thus both her and her family’s lives are thrown into danger when difficult decisions have to be made.

I was so captivated by Sophie’s story that I was almost bereft when her story suddenly ended and Liv’s began. I normally tend to prefer one era to another in dual time frame stories and when Liv’s story began in 2006 I was worried that I wouldn’t enjoy her story as much however I am pleased to say that Liv’s contribution was equally enjoyable. The painting of Sophie comes to the fore in Liv’s life and again is the cause of much soul searching and heartbreak.

Despite being separated by nearly 100 years the stories of Sophie and Liv are intrinsically linked throughout the book and both their characters show strength which neither thought they possessed.

I enjoyed this book immensely and would recommend this to a reader who enjoys a story where they are completely pulled in and enthralled by the characters and the storyline .
