Wouldn't it be great to have a name like this author's? "Hi, this is Jojo Moyes calling, and I was wondering if you would..." Who could turn you down?
But seriously, this author of the lovely Me before You has written another charming book, this one set alternately in northern France during WWI and contemporary London. Sophie becomes the object of obsession of the Kommandant in power in her small French village during the war. The Kommandant wants Sophie, Sophie wants to be reunited with her husband at the front. Each has power over the other. In the end, who will win?
Liv is in possession of a mysterious painting of a beautiful young French woman. As her ownership of the piece comes into question, Liv is forced to learn more about this woman. What became of her after she was painted during that long-ago war? Some of the plot twists strain belief here, but the characters are absolutely true, and they make good company.
