Un siglo más tarde el retrato de Sophie llega a manos de Liv como regalo de boda de su marido poco antes de la muerte de este.

After You
Another Moyes story about rebuilding love after a partner's death, but contemporary and gentler rather than wartime peril.
Me Before You
Same author's signature heartbreak romance across a class divide; modern setting, no historical dual timeline, and an even sadder ending.
This Girl
Shares grief-shadowed forbidden love and fighting for a marriage, but it's steamier, younger, and fully contemporary with a happy ending.
Regretting You
Same dual-timeline grief and widowhood, love fought for despite loss, but contemporary small-town mother-daughter drama instead of wartime, slightly spicier.
It's Not Summer Without You
Also about loving someone through mourning and unfinished promises, though YA-soft, summery and far gentler than occupied-France peril.
The Pairing
Another second-chance love where old feelings resurface across a European backdrop, but this one is contemporary, comic, and far more explicit than wartime tragedy.
