Sarah and Warren were high school sweethearts who despite teenage plans for an adventurous future together, eventually married other people. When they meet again at sixty, their lives have been carved into very different shapes. Sarah lives outside New York, where she works at a local museum; Warren lives in Boston, a developer of historical buildings. Sarah is divorced, Warren still married, and both have grown up children. But when they reconnect, they feel the rekindled spark of love and desire - a spark that has been dead for so long.

Reviews for Leaving

'As absorbing as it is haunting... These two twined characters and their story will certainly stay with me for a long time.’ Meg Wolitzer, author of The Wife ‘Compelling, heartstopping and all-too-believable, this is a marvelous read.' Gish Jen, author of The Resisters 'A searing interrogation of honor and passion. It dissects the hidden cost of the choices we make, and the consequences with which we must endeavor to live.’ 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 ‘A remarkable novel—a quietly expansive story, in which elements of love and family coalesce and escalate into tragedy... A triumph of a book.’ Joan Silber, author of Improvement
