Intense and fraught, Leaving by Roxanna Robinson is a magnetic dive into the essence of love, family, responsibility and desire. When Warren and Sarah, two college sweethearts, reconnect years later and have an affair, they must question the meanings and repercussions of their choices and motivations. Having married others, raised families, and made commitments, they imagine different lives. One is divorced and one is still married. But it is not only this couple that propels the story...where and how their children and current spouse express their needs brings on a deep questioning of personal values. Robinson asks not only how much can you live with, but how much can you live without. At times Leaving is a tale of desperation. I had to catch my breath at the end.
