Jojo Moyes:
What interested you about the time period that "The Girl You Left Behind" is about?

Hi Tessa
I guess it was less the time period than the events in that period. Until I started researching I'd had no idea that huge swathes of civilian Northern France were under German control. And that tension of troops and villagers living side by side immediately appealed to me as a novelist.
