LEAVING
a novel by Carol Sinclair

Growing up within the confines of suburban Wellington in the 1950s, Lydia
and Rod are bth fighting inner battles: Lydie – questioning, imaginative,
and needing to escape her Brethren family and the strict, moralist path they
have laid out for her; Rod – the artistic hero wanting to be free from his own
cloying realities. Their lives cross briefly, but neither forgets.

Leaving tells the story of two people’s search – for love, and freedom, and
that elusive safe place. They are strangers in thier own country, and strangers
in a foreign land. This is a powerful and beautifully written bok, haunt-
ingly real for anyone who has ever questioned their own existence, and seen
their own lives as a series of choices.

Carol Sinclair is a New Zealander who has lived in England for over fifteen
years. She is the author of two other books The Sinclair Dict System, and a
book on her husband entitled Ray Harris-Ching: Journey of an Artists.
