There are miracles and legends in the world of literature. This slender novella, which is almost absent from the history of literature, was created in a creative flash of despair and inspiration. The only book by Marcelle Sauvage, a French writer who lived at the beginning of the 20th century, was written, published and crowned a masterpiece shortly before her death from tuberculosis. The book is a perfect scientific experiment, examining the transformations that have occurred in the concept of love over time. "Leave Me" brings us the following news: the concept of love is the only one that does not change from century to century. Love is timeless, transcending fashions and eras; a constant thing. "Leave Me" presents us with a continuous request for love, in the form of rejection. This is an internal conflict of the heart: a plea to the beloved not to leave, and in the same breath a refusal to surrender. Within the walls of the hospital, while battling her illness, the heroine of the book recounts, laments and cries out moments with her lover that were and are gone; She engraves them in her thoughts and out loud to those around her: a collection of hidden feelings that have been hidden for years and are now revealed as unrequited love. Nothing else is written between the lines – only longing, regret, memories and separation. There is no escape from reading this masterpiece, energetic and incredibly contemporary, with bated breath, the only one that Marcel Sauvage left us when she disappeared from the world in 1934.
