From the New York Times bestselling author of The Giver of Stars, a sweeping bestseller of love and loss, deftly weaving two journeys from World War I France to present day London. Paris, World War I. Sophie Lefèvre must keep her family safe while her adored husband, Édouard, fights at the front. When their town falls to the Germans, Sophie is forced to serve them every evening at her hotel. From … every evening at her hotel. From the moment the new Kommandant sets eyes on Sophie’s portrait—painted by her artist husband—a dangerous obsession is born.
Almost a century later in London, Sophie’s portrait hangs in the home of Liv Halston, a wedding gift from her young husband before his sudden death. After a chance encounter reveals the portrait’s true worth, a battle begins over its troubled history and Liv’s world is turned upside all over again.

JoJo Moyes is becoming one of my favorite authors. Her characters are realistic, haunting and touching.
Interesting story in a time/place which I knew little about.
I loved this book
This book was sensational. It will be hard to top this one.
I love all these books.
I’ve read all her books and have loved all
One of the most entertaining, readable books I’ve ever read. Alternating between WWI in France and the present day New York, the book traces a painting’s journey among owners, and ultimately is the subject of a legal battle to establish true ownership.
