The Day I Left You: A Novel

For readers of The Secrets We Kept and Jill Santopolo comes an epic love story about Greta and Henry, who find a love that’s meant to last a lifetime in 1982 East Berlin—until Greta vanishes.

East Berlin, 1982. When Greta Schneider meets Henry Henderson, she is instantly smitten. An engineer on a work visa from Britain, Henry offers Greta a taste of the world beyond the Iron Curtain, a world that she yearns to explore as a translator once she finishes university. For Henry, Greta is simply perfect—bold and beautiful, adding a vital spark to his everyday life.

But their time together is limited. Henry can’t stay once his visa expires, and Greta is forbidden from going beyond the Berlin Wall. When Henry proposes, Greta accepts—and is given permission to start a new life with Henry in England. And for a time, everything is perfect. Until, one day, out of the blue, Greta walks out the door of their Oxford home, leaving a simple note.

The Day I Left You is a gorgeous, Cold-War era story about the nature of love, the memories we cling to, and the hurts we must leave behind to move forward.
