Congratulations to Thomas Pluck, winner of last week's Friday Freebie: Troubled Daughters, Twisted Wives, edited by Sarah Weinman.
Jojo Moyes’s bestseller, Me Before You, catapulted her to wide critical acclaim and struck a chord with readers everywhere. The Chicago Tribune called it “Hopelessly and hopefully romantic." Moyes returns with another irresistible heartbreaker that asks, “Whatever happened to the girl you left behind?”The Quivering Pen strives to put quality literature in your hands and this week's offering is no exception. One lucky reader will be sobbing all the way to happiness when he/she wins this book.
France, 1916: Artist Edouard Lefevre leaves his young wife, Sophie, to fight at the front. When their small town falls to the Germans in the midst of World War I, Edouard’s portrait of Sophie draws the eye of the new Kommandant. As the officer’s dangerous obsession deepens, Sophie will risk everything—her family, her reputation, and her life—to see her husband again. Almost a century later, Sophie’s portrait is given to Liv Halston by her young husband shortly before his sudden death. A chance encounter reveals the painting’s true worth, and a battle begins for who its legitimate owner is—putting Liv’s belief in what is right to the ultimate test. Like Sarah Blake’s The Postmistress and Tatiana de Rosnay’s Sarah’s Key, The Girl You Left Behind is a breathtaking story of love, loss, and sacrifice told with Moyes’s signature ability to capture our hearts with every turn of the page.
But wait! As they say on late-night TV, there's more....
In addition to a hardbound copy of The Girl You Left Behind, the publisher has graciously added another book to the giveaway: a paperback copy of Moyes' previous novel, the breakout hit Me Before You. O Magazine called it “an unlikely love story....To be devoured like candy, between tears.”

Unfortunately, most of what I read now is YA, because I need to be able to recommend books to kids. Grownup books wait until Thanksgiving break. This book sounds great---have you read the Bookman's Tale? That was the premier grownup book of the summer, for me.
ReplyDeleteKirby, I haven't read The Bookman's Tale....yet. I've heard good things about it, though.
