Summary
A page-turning OMG love story, The Love of My Life is a bold, mysterious romance from Rosie Walsh, author of The Man Who Didn't Call.
I have held you every night for ten years and I didn’t even know your name. We have a child together. A dog, a house.
Who are you?
Emma loves her husband Leo and their young daughter Ruby: she’d do anything for them. But almost everything she's told them about herself is a lie.
And she might just have got away with it, if it weren’t for her husband’s job. 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.
But as he starts to unravel her past, he discovers the woman he loves doesn’t really exist. Even her name is made-up.
When the very darkest moments of Emma’s past life finally emerge, she must somehow prove to Leo that she really is the woman he always thought she was. But first, she must tell him about the love of her other life . . .

Captivating, unpredictable and authentic - a book that explores the depths of what it is to be a complete human, and how to love
Never did I guess, at the start of this book, that the ending would be quite so deep, so profound and so rewarding.
This book explores womanhood, childbirth, being a mother, a lover and a wife, through the searching, challenging life of ‘Emma’. A book for anyone who has experienced challenges in how to really live, to be authentic, and how to love unconditionally.

A heart wrenching rollercoaster!
I thoroughly enjoyed this, I was jumping to so many conclusions it was dizzying! Even when I was close to guessing something, two other plot lines bit me on the bottom to stop me from feeling complacent.
There are some emotive subjects covered in this book, and while part of me thinks it might benefit from some trigger warnings, I can’t imagine how you’d do that without revealing too much too soon.
I was near tears with empathy for multiple characters, and I almost wanted to listen to it again before I’d finished!
Thus would make a gripping film, or tv series.

Was that it?
The story started out promising but the big reveal was an anticlimax. After which it was very predictable.
Emma, one of the main characters, was so annoying and immature. And despite being a mother myself, I just found her obsessive behaviour ridiculous.
I wouldn’t recommend.

A Bit Boring but Nice Ending
Found the story a bit boring overall. characters were unmemorable. Had some nice moments. Loved the narration for the female character, but the narration for the main character was a bit flat.

unbearable narration
I stuck with the book as I thought the story was good but it was a struggle with the awful mannered narration.

Another epic listen from Rosie Walsh
I love Rosie Walsh’s books. They are so full of heart and joy and love, but they also carry the tension and pace of a thriller. An absolute joy and Imogen Church delivers another outstanding performance
