“Linked essays cohere into a tender, moving memoir.”
Kirkus Starred Review
“The Art of Leaving is a marvel of a book, at once tender and fearless, from a writer at the peak of her creative powers.”
Kamal Al-Solaylee, author of Brown
“…nuanced, complex, and beautiful. These essays are timely and urgent, and they’ve been polished ‘til they shine.”
Alison Pick, author of Between Gods
“…a passionate account of the pain, fire and fury of adolescence and young adulthood.”
Camilla Gibb, author of This is Happy
“Ayelet Tsabari is a fierce-tender writer. Her work is an enchanting mix of vivid anecdote and vigorous insight… glittering with humour and heart.”
Kyo Maclear, author of Birds Art Life
“Stunning… The self she portrays is complicatedly flawed, human and aware… Tsabari’s intense prose gave me pause.”
The New York Times Book Review
