<DIV>Two sisters meet for the first time after their father has killed their sister and himself; a man dying of cancer rescues a small boy from a closed refrigerator; an alcoholic, long divorced, shows up at his daughter&rsquo;s wedding; a man who long ago abused his daughter realizes at last the full impact of what he has done.</div><DIV>&#160;</div><DIV>These are among the situations described in <i>Absent Without Leave</i>, and they hit with a force that will shake you, disturb you, and teach you the truths you do not already know. The tales are clear-eyed but deeply moving; the characters spring three dimensional and alive from her pages; the stories are dangerous and fearless and thus not sentimental. We are confronting life here, made vivid by art.</div>
