{"product_id":"9780241688120","title":"Engagement","description":"\u003cp\u003e'I want to have him, I really do. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gun-Britt Sundström","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55705013059962,"sku":"9780241688120","price":18.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0423\/0240\/6809\/files\/9780241688120.jpg?v=1754061112","url":"https:\/\/winstonebooks.pro\/products\/9780241688120","provider":"Winstone's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
