I just don't want him to have me.'\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Martina and Gustav, students in 1970s Stockholm, meet and fall immediately into coupledom. But what \u003ci\u003eis\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eEngagement\u003c\/i\u003e, 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, \u003ci\u003eEngagement\u003c\/i\u003e remains as relevant, hilarious and heartbreaking today.","brand":"Unity Books","offers":[{"title":"Engagement","offer_id":45006649000133,"sku":null,"price":48.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0625\/6679\/3413\/files\/978-0-241-68812-0.jpg?v=1755101340","url":"https:\/\/unitybooks.myshopify.com\/products\/engagement","provider":"Unity Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
