For fans of One Day and In Five Years, an epic love story about Greta and Henry, who by chance meet in 1982 East Berlin and find a love that lasts a lifetime—until one of them vanishes.
I'm sorry. I can't stay. Just forget about me.
East Berlin, 1982. When Greta Schneider sees Henry Henderson walk through the doors of her local café, she is instantly smitten. An engineer on a work visa from England, Henry offers Greta a taste of the world beyond the Iron Curtain, a world that she hopes to explore as a translator once she finishes university. For Henry, Greta is simply perfect—bold and beautiful, her lively and inquisitive nature adding a mess of color to 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. It's been only a few weeks, but they know how they feel about each other, so when Henry proposes, Greta accepts—and is miraculously given permission to start a new life with Henry in England. For a time, everything is perfect. Until, one day, out of the blue, Greta walks out the door, leaving nothing but a cryptic note behind.
Decades later, Henry still has unanswered questions. Greta loved him, and he loved her. They surmounted the odds to be together, and in his heart, he knows their marriage was happy. So why did she leave? When a young mother visits Henry's antique restoration shop, she unknowingly brings with her a clue that sends Henry on a journey to find out what happened to the love of his life all those years ago.
Set against the backdrop of the Cold War, The Day I Left You is a gorgeous, spellbinding story about the nature of love, the memories we cling to, and the hurts we must leave behind to move forward.
