Likely to appeal to fans of Linda Green's novels.
Rating: 4.0/5
"The Love of My Life" is a well-crafted, hugely enjoyable and emotional family drama.
Leo & Emma have been happily married for 10 years and they both dote on their young daughter, Ruby. But their idyllic world has been threatened recently as Emma has been undergoing treatment for cancer. Leo is a professional writer of obituaries and, when he is tasked with pre-writing a stock obituary for his wife, he begins to find out just how little he knows about her life before he met her.
Rosie Walsh clearly has a talent for writing this kind of drama. The characters are all true to life and relatable. The dialogue is consistently authentic and natural. The author also has a firm grasp of how to create something that is dramatic without being melodramatic. In addition to the main plotline the author also raises a number of other significant socio-political topics, such as postpartum psychosis, which provide plenty of food for thought.
If I were being picky, I might suggest that Part One of this three-part story is a little longer than it needs to be and that it could have been edited down without losing impact, but that really is a minor point. Overall, "The Love of My Life" is still a fine example of a well-written family drama.

Breathtakingly Beautiful & Heartbreaking! Spectacular. Love! ♥️
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 June 2022
Wow! What a breathtakingly beautiful and heartbreaking story. I was left speechless and with tears streaming down my face.I cannot begin to tell you the rollercoaster of emotions I went through whilst reading this.My feelings toward every character changed nearly as often as I turned the page. In particular, I went from not liking a character to feeling my heart shatter for them. And in the same breath, my feelings toward another changed too.It’s a story of true love in all its forms and the inner struggles we all go through when trying to protect, not only the ones we love but ourselves from the trauma and pain that our past holds.I loved being able to listen to the story via audio as I felt like I was this unseen presence in Emma, Leo & Ruby’s lives, watching silently whilst their lives begin to unravel with the resurfacing of a past long forgotten.But was it truly forgotten or just buried deep?Will their lives ever be the same again? Or is it the beginning of the end?You’ll only know if you read this spectacular book.A real page-turner with a plethora of twists and turns and revelations. I was completely enthralled.I can promise you one thing, your heart may ache, but there is also an abundance of funny, loving and tender moments that will soothe that ache with a healing balm of hope.
