Leaving Summary

Leaving by Roxana Robinson

'What does love demand of us, and who must pay the price?' Joan Silber

High school sweethearts, Sarah and Warren, have grand plans for an adventurous future together, but when a misunderstanding causes them to part ways, they end up marrying other people.

When they meet again at sixty, their lives have been carved into very different shapes. Sarah lives outside New York; Warren lives in Boston. Sarah is divorced, Warren still married, and both have grown up children. When they reconnect, they feel the rekindled spark of love and desire - a spark that has been dead for so long. But are they willing to risk destroying all that they have built separately for the chance of a future together?

'Compelling, heartstopping and all-too-believable, this is a marvelous read.'

-- Gish Jen, author of The Resisters

-- Geraldine Brooks, author of Horse

'Robinson brings her wit, her beautiful sentences and her compassionate clarity to this book about the price of love and the enduring need for it.'

-- Amy Bloom, author of White Houses
