From the bestselling author of The Giver of Stars, a New York Times bestseller about love and grief, comes a masterful tale that skillfully combines two timelines: World War I France and modern-day London.
World War I, Paris. While her devoted husband Édouard battles at the front, Sophie Lefèvre must ensure the safety of her family. Sophie is compelled to serve the Germans dinner every evening at her hotel when their town is taken over. A hazardous fixation begins the minute the new Kommandant sees Sophie's picture, which was created by her husband, an artist.
A little over a century later, in London, Liv Halston's house displays Sophie's image as a wedding present from her young husband before his untimely death. Liv's life is flipped upside down once again as a war over the portrait's tumultuous past breaks out after a fortuitous meeting that exposes the portrait's actual value.
