Weird book, not for young readers!!! It's about these two women who never meet as they're from different time zones but the book switches the focus to both. Sophie's life was hard in WW1 so I understand her decisions and how much she wanted to be reunited with her dear artist husband, but Livia was soo unlikeable I couldn't stand her. Her struggles were that her husband died, and that's all. She needs to sell her husband's dealer house just because she so wants to hold ‘The girl you left behind' painting that Sophie's husband made... She's very immature sometimes, and her relationship with Pol felt so weird and unrealistic, I hated some parts... yikes. Anyways, this doesn't mean the book is bad, just NOT for me! I liked the mystery part on the court and finding out about Sophie, but that's mostly it... Maybe if you like contemporary books with dual timing and characters, a bit of mystery, weird romance, and just confusing writing, this may be for you... I'm OUT!
For some reason it seemed to take me awhile to finish this book even with two long weekends thrown in! I seem to be reading a lot of books recently that jump between the past and present. I thought it was a good story despite jumping between time periods.
