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\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\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\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePaperback | Publication: 4 Jun 2026, Penguin\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 9780241688137\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eExtent: 512 pages\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"David's Bookshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57368156242302,"sku":null,"price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0753\/0892\/5225\/files\/9780241688137.jpg?v=1777981639","url":"https:\/\/www.davids-bookshops.co.uk\/products\/engagement-by-gun-britt-sundstrom","provider":"David's Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
