Leo is an obituary writer and Emma is a well-known marine biologist, so, when she suffers a serious illness, Leo copes by doing what he knows best – reading and writing about her life. And she might just have got away with it, if it weren’t for her husband’s job.
But almost everything she's told them about herself is a lie.
Who are you? Emma loves her husband Leo and their young daughter Ruby: she’d do anything for them. I have held you every night for ten years and I didn’t even know your name. If you emerge from this novel like me with a need to ask Rosie Walsh All The Questions, here’s an interview with Professional Booknerds.įind your copy of The Love of My Life from your favorite retailer.* From Rosie Walsh, the author of the million copy bestselling sensation The Man Who Didn't Call, comes another OMG love story, The Love of My Life ** I thought this was a black-and-white question, but I find I’m still wrestling with it long after finishing Rosie Walsh’s mind-bender of a novel. The big question in The Love of My Life is whether it’s ever possible for love and dishonesty to combine to form a solid relationship. As readers, we are equally in the dark, feeling every bit of Leo’s panic and disorientation. Most of the story is experienced through the eyes of Leo as he desperately tries to understand the extent of his wife’s duplicity. The thrill of this book is its perfect pacing, with just enough breadcrumbs to follow the trail without ever knowing where we might be going. The Love of My Life would make an excellent book club selection as long as they can trust each member not to blurt out spoilers as they read. But almost everything she’s told them about herself is a lie.” – The Love of My Life, jacket copy. “Emma loves her husband, Leo, and their young daughter, Ruby: she’d do anything for them.
