Review of 'The leavetaking' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
About half way through part two I struggled to make the connection with part one both in style and content. That he tool the threads and brought them together at the end was not enough to earn five stars. The prose and the jdeas around leaving, ending, disconnecting throughout was, despite that, enough to give it an easy 4 stars - or perhaps on a scale more familiar to the hero of the story, a straight A.
