About This Book
On the night of her thirteenth birthday, Jane Howard made a vow to her
warring parents: she would never get married, and she would never have
children.
But life, as Jane comes to discover, is a profoundly random business.
Many years and many lives later, she is a professor in Boston, in love
with a brilliant, erratic man named Theo. And then Jane becomes
pregnant. Motherhood turns out to be a great welcome surprise--but when
a devastating turn of events tears her existence apart she has no choice
but to flee all she knows and leave the world.
Just when she has renounced life itself, the disappearance of a young
girl pulls her back from the edge and into an obsessive search for some
sort of personal redemption. Convinced that she knows more about the
case than the police do, she is forced to make a decision--stay hidden
or bring to light a shattering truth.
Leaving the World is a riveting portrait of a brilliant woman that
reflects the way we live now, of the many routes we follow in the course
of a single life, and of the arbitrary nature of destiny. A critically
acclaimed international bestseller, it is also a compulsive read and one
that speaks volumes about the dilemmas we face in trying to navigate our
way through all that fate throws in our path.
