There were so many times I realised the author had misled me and I wanted to go back to check how she’d done it!

I was reading on Kindle as I said but it’s the kind of book I wish I had a physical copy of. Even when parts of her story start to become clear, it’s never all laid out. I thought I did several times but the author proved me wrong. I had no idea what Emma was hiding or why. The Love of My Love is full of suspense and secrets. The narrative is perfectly paced with author Rosie Walsh revealing information bit by bit, misleading me so that, just like some of the characters, I often got the wrong end of the stick! I really can’t tell you anything about the story other than what is in the synopsis, as the way it unfurls is so carefully done that I don’t want to spoil a minute of the book for you. I picked it up to just read a chapter or two and couldn’t read this fast enough! I was glued to that Kindle. The Love of My Life is a book I’d had on my Kindle for a few months before I got around to beginning. But first, she must tell him about the love of her other life. 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 as he starts to unravel her past, he discovers the woman he loves doesn’t really exist. 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.

A dog, a house.Įmma 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.
