About this book

A novel spanning from World War I France to present-day London. In Paris during World War I, Sophie Lefèvre must protect her family while her husband Édouard serves at the front. When Germans occupy their town, Sophie is forced to serve them nightly at her hotel. The new Kommandant becomes dangerously obsessed with Sophie's portrait, painted by her artist husband. Nearly a century later in London, the same portrait belongs to Liv Halston, who received it as a wedding gift from her young husband before his unexpected death. When Liv discovers the portrait's true value through a chance encounter, a dispute erupts over its troubled history, upending her life.
