Review by: Sarah Ambroise
The voices of characters Henry and Greta alternate in this historical fiction, bringing readers into their past love story and present-day lives where secrets, regrets (and perhaps love?) are still poignant. The Day I Left You tells the story of Greta’s mysterious departure, set against a political backdrop of the German Democratic Republic before the fall of the Berlin wall. This book would be suited for readers aged 12 and up, though older readers may better appreciate the novel’s complex political themes. The Day I Left You is an excellent read for those who enjoy romance, historical fiction, and complex characters.
