My review: I have read Jojo's previous book 'Me before You' under recommendation from A girlfriend of mine. I loved it and when I walked past her new book 'The girl you left behind', my hand shot out and I grabbed it on the way past without hesitation... It practically jumped off the shelf and into my hands. Jojo is fast becoming one of my favourite authors. This is a beautiful story that follows Sophie LeFevre from 1917 in the war through to 2006 when a painting of her is found on the wall of Liv Halston's home. Jojo links these two women, a century between them, in such a gorgeous way that they stay with you even after you have turned the last page and closed the back cover. It left a wide smile on my face. Devastating and heartbreaking as to what they had to endure in the war but also gave me the warm and fuzzies on love and life. I absolutely loved this book.
My rating: 5/5
