This is the story of the secrets within a marriage, told with real insight and compassion. The writing is vivid and tender, the plot so skilfully constructed, I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough and the characters have stayed with me, long after reaching the end
- Lucy Diamond, author of <i>Anything Could Happen</i>,
<i>The Love of my Life</i> is an extraordinary novel. Rosie Walsh combines the emotional punch of the best of romance with the page-turning twists of the most masterful thrillers. I was torn between pausing to weep, and ploughing on to solve the mysteries
- Clare Pooley, author of <i>The Authenticity Project</i>,
Formidably complex and fiendishly clever, <i>The Love of My Life</i> takes the emotional thriller to a whole new level. Both haunting and gripping, it’s a novel as full of twists as it is heart, a gorgeously smart exploration of memory, mystery, and the devotion we show to the people we love. A breathtaking novel from a superbly talented author.
- Emma Stonex, author of <i>The Lamplighters</i>,
Walsh’s hugely compelling <i>The Love of My Life </i>instantly pulls you deep into the interior of a marriage. Part thriller, part mystery, part heart-wrenching love story, this is a treasure for book clubs everywhere
- Ashley Audrain, author of <i>The Push</i>,
Brilliantly plotted and beautifully written, what really elevates Rosie Walsh’s book above the competition is the characters. Contradictory, flawed and entirely human, I loved and rooted for them like real people
- Kate Riordan, author of <i>The Heatwave</i>,
Even more addictive than <i>The Man Who Didn’t Call</i>. Another winner
- Joanna Nadin, author of <i>The Double Life of Daisy Hemmings</i>,
<i>The Love of My Life </i>is a poignant love story, a propulsive mystery and a cautionary tale about the secrets we keep. I couldn’t put it down

Perfection. Every word. Every moment. Every emotion. Brave, heart-breaking, and hopeful. A breathtaking story

Wow, this book! With <i>The Love of my Life</i> Rosie Walsh has achieved a very rare thing: a totally heart-rending love story that is also a page-turning thriller – how does she do it?!?! Addictive, moving, totally unputdownable. It really is superb and has Netflix series written all over it
- Katy Regan, author of <i>How To Find Your Way Home</i>,
Read it and never look at your husband or wife in quite the same way again. <i>The Love of My Life</i> has a genius premise that shoots straight to the heart of one of life’s great unanswered conundrums: can you ever truly trust anyone? I lapped it up – then gave my husband some serious side-eye!
- Jade Beer, author of <i>The Last Dress from Paris</i>,

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 a fiction.
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.
