The Girl You Left Behind

Description

In German-occupied France during World War I, Sophie Lefèvre struggles to protect her family and preserve hope while her husband fights at the front. A portrait he painted of Sophie captures the attention of the local Kommandant, drawing her into a dangerous web of power, desire, and sacrifice. Nearly a century later, the painting connects Sophie’s story to Liv Halston, a young widow whose life is transformed when the artwork’s contested ownership ignites a legal and emotional battle. Spanning two eras, this moving novel explores love, loss, courage, memory, and the lengths people will go to defend what—and whom—they cherish.
