When a German officer becomes obsessed with a portrait of Sophie painted by Édouard—titled \u003cem data-start=\"484\" data-end=\"510\"\u003eThe Girl You Left Behind\u003c\/em\u003e—her life takes a dangerous turn. Nearly a century later, the painting resurfaces in London, in the possession of Liv Halston, a young widow trying to rebuild her life. When the painting becomes the subject of a restitution claim, Liv finds herself in a legal battle that uncovers the painting's dark history and tests her beliefs about love and ownership. Rich in emotion, history, and moral complexity, the novel examines the choices people make during desperate times and the legacy they leave behind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1016\" data-end=\"1774\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1016\" data-end=\"1050\"\u003eAbout the Author – \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1050\" data-end=\"1053\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJojo Moyes\u003c\/strong\u003e is a bestselling British author and journalist, widely recognized for her emotionally compelling novels that often blend romance, drama, and historical themes.
