For almost all of their matrimony, Althea has fluctuated between extreme depressive and manic expresses, and Oliver has been the stable hand that guided her to security. This summer Althea determines that she'll vary from here on. She'll be the caring, sexy better half Oliver wants and the reliable, affectionate mother their nine-year-old girl, Clem, deserves. Her plan: to bring Clem with their Easthampton home once school is out - with no "summer girl" to look after her this time - and be "normal". But Oliver is faraway and controlling, and his marriage with their interior decorator seems a lttle bit too close; Clem has learned to be self-sufficient, and learning her now feels like very hard improve Althea. Into this world gets into a much more radiant, David Foster Wallace-reading house painter, who grows to something in Althea that has been long buried. Fearless and darkly funny, If You Left explores the complex dance that is the bipolar matrimony and the possibility that to move forward, we might have to destroy the things we've performed hardest to create.
