Leaving the World

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.

Kennedy writes extensive, intense novels, that can transport you to another world for quite a few hours. There are some recurring themes in the novels, so if you like one, you are bound to like others too, and I particularly enjoyed reading this one, which deals with a woman who takes some drastic steps in her life after certain events force her to change her path. It is inspiring to see how she controls her decision making, and how she can mould her own future.
