The Love We Left Behind

De: Katherine Slee

Narrado por: Elizabeth Knowelden

A heartbreaking, heartwarming story of two best friends - and the choices that could tear them apart.

London, 2012. With her adoring fiancé, financial independence and a close-knit group of friends, Erika should have life all figured out - but she can’t shake the feeling that there’s something missing. And when she stumbles upon a reminder of her past one day, she’s confronted with a part of her life she’s spent almost twenty years trying to forget.

1995. Smart, tenacious Niamh is in her second year at Oxford University. Unlike her best friend Erika, she’s shy and feels like she doesn’t belong, so she’s happy to let Erika take the lead in their friendship. But everything changes when she meets Leo and feels the uplifting power of love for the first time.

As Erika’s story takes us back into the past, Niamh’s brings us forward towards the present, until the two meet one fateful summer’s night that will change the path of their friendship forever.

Interesting book

This book was a little hard to get into and the changes in time made it difficult to follow. Surprise ending.

Enjoyed

Very heartwarming wonderful story to have a love like that and to lose it but to find happiness at the end really really enjoyed it hope you do too thank you

loved it

I really enjoyed reading this book. I look forward to reading more books by this author in the near future.

Confusing

There is a lot of jumping around from past to present. Combine that with one of the biggest twists of the story and you’ve got yourself quite a conundrum. The last 2 hrs are wonderful if you can make it that far.

The Ending Was Great!

This book is about friendships, trying to discover your identity and worth at a young (college) age, and how to live with the choices, self imposed or forced, that you live with every day after.

The twist was brilliant. Following the story’s timeline needed constant attention but it was always referenced and in the end it was needed to pull it all together for the twist to unfold and a great ending to happen.

Narration was great to keep up with this complex story!!
