I just don't want him to have me.'\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eMartina and Gustav, students in 1970s Stockholm, meet and fall immediately into coupledom. But what is coupledom? A route to marriage? A declaration of co-dependency? A new dimension of commitment and responsibility? A sexual confrontation? Or is it a habit that an intelligent person must consider breaking? Martina and Gustav discuss their relationship endlessly, between themselves and with others, as they try to make it work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eEngagement , set during a time of social change and political upheaval, sees Martina trying to engage with the world on her own terms. Unwilling to marry, she finds herself in a state of permanent engagement while her friends settle down to marriage and children; uncertain of the world's future, she engages with demos, sit-ins and philosophy seminars in her quest for a new blueprint for joy. First published in 1976, when it was heralded as an instant classic, Engagement remains as relevant, hilarious and heartbreaking today.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gun-Britt Sundström","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49116688351483,"sku":"9780241688137","price":32.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0806\/8176\/3067\/files\/9780241688137.jpg?v=1785616209","url":"https:\/\/aureliabooks.co.nz\/products\/engagement-9780241688137","provider":"Aurelia Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
