As the new neighbors enter their insular lives, her familyâs safety and stability become threatened.From a writer whose âunique presentation of human experience makes reading a delightâ (Elizabeth Strout), You Are the Love of My Life is a story of how shame leads to secrets, secrets to lies, and how lies stand in the way of human connection.
