My copy of the book has just arrived- thank you so much! I have really enjoyed all her other books & am really looking to this one. Jojo came to give a talk at our local library recently & she is great fun.
Just received the book - lots of thanks. Can't wait to read it, but I am in the middle of a whodunit and will get totally confused if I don't finish that first!
Oh my book arrived today and when I got back tonight I opened the package to find the book, I am so looking forward to reading it after reading Last letter from my lover, my most enjoyed book of 2012 , thank you
Thank you for my copy.I loved 'You Before Me.' Having read the first 20 pages I was very glad to see a book taking the somewhat rare perspective of the besieged French population under German occupation. The book arrived just before Nov 11th and the many TV programmes last weekend concentrated on the battles and soldiers tragic sories. The ordinary French people were seldom mentioned.
Sorry! Of course I meant "soldiers' tragic stories' "! Am typing with one hand and holding book in the other. It's lovely to have a new book-resisting getting a Kindle.
I finished the book last night, and LOVED it! I know that I usually read thrillers, but it`s nice to have a complete change now and then, and this one was the ideal complete change. A lovely story, sad, but heartwarming as well.
I am half way through the book and absolutely LOVE IT! I am already a big fan of JoJo Moyles, so getting her new book was a bonus. I will be passing it on to my daughter in law, who is pregnant, and has broken her ankle. It will keep her sitting down for a long time as she will be gripped by the story.
I can't say I 'enjoyed' the book while actually reading some parts of it. It was so powerful and drew me in so deeply that I became quite distressed at the way certain characters were treated by others. It needed that ending.
I bought the book and have just finished reading it this morning. It was an enjoyable, engrossing read; thank you. I felt there were parallels between the two time frames of the story line; was this deliberate? The detail and descriptions were brilliant as was the pace of the story line. Quite distressing in part especially as I have just been on my first visit to Ypres this year and the detail of the first world war was very clear.
Received the book with thanks and read the whole thing in one go yesterday. What an intriguing storyline - I can usually tell what's coming in a story, but the 'twist', revealed towards the end, completely caught me out. I enjoyed 'Me Before You' (the first book I bought for my Kindle), so I looked forward to reading 'The Girl....' and wasn't disappointed.
Many thanks for the book which I have just finished reading...I will not say I enjoyed it as that wouldn't be the right word for the sadness that was portrayed but it was so interesting it held my attention throughout.....and I would certainly recommend it to others and pass it on. I found the first part easy to understand...but the second part took some time to piece together all the characters. Do you think it might make a tv film? it deserves too Many many thanks for all the hard work you must have put in to write this.
