Description
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 is 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.
Leaving by Roxana Robinson explores the complexities of love and the possibility of reigniting passion later in life.
