Publisher's summary

France, 1916. Sophie Lefevre is ordered to serve the German officers who socialise in her hotel. When the new Kommandant sets eyes on Sophie's portrait - painted by her husband Edouard - a dangerous obsession is born. Almost a century later, Sophie's portrait hangs in the home of Liv Halston. A chance encounter reveals the painting's true worth - and its troubled history that is about to resurface and turn Liv's life upside down….

Don’t like the French accent narration

I didn’t like the French accent narration. Or at it would have been restricted to the dialogs!
Besides, the Kindle text doesn’t synchronize with the audible narration (as almost allways do).
I was disappointed.

captivating listening!!

Loved this tale, I was brought to tears often as it transported me back and forth through time. The narration by Clzre Corbett and Penelope Rawlins was excellent and enthralling

The Girl you left behind

Who was your favorite character and why?

I loved Mo, she was an interesting character and I wish there was a little more of her

What about Clare Corbett and Penelope Rawlins ’s performance did you like?

The narration was great by both ladies

If you could take any character from The Girl You Left Behind out to dinner, who would it be and why?

Mo, she seems like a lot of fun

Any additional comments?

I found this book a little slow at the beginning, I struggled with it for maybe the first hour. But after that I really started to enjoy the story. Overall I really enjoyed it!!
