The Art of Leaving

Anna Stothard
Alma Books
ISBN: 84688-237-1

After her hi-definition trawl of Los Angeles in'The Pink Hotel', Anna Stothard does a similar, fascinating, job on a recognisable corner of her home city, London. The story is also an in-depth study of someone, Eva, who doesn't take easily to closeness and is always looking for an escape route. As a way of life this only works as long as she is in control; and you, the reader, are free to roam at will through her mind as she copes with being left instead of leaving - while juggling the two men and the one, mystery, woman in her life. If you want more: although she doesn't happen to be a writer, Eva has the kind of feverish imagination many authors would kill themselves for .
