I just don't want him to have me.'Martina 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.   Engagement, 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 Sundstrom","offers":[{"title":"512 pages \/ 03\/07\/2025 \/ Modern \u0026 contemporary fiction (post c 1945)","offer_id":56965961646455,"sku":"9780241688120","price":16.71,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0682\/9454\/1624\/files\/9780241688120_d4cdea95-4946-4cc5-a6e2-89a1326bcc7e.jpg?v=1775128509","url":"https:\/\/gulpfictionbooks.com\/products\/9780241688120","provider":"Gulp Fiction","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
