Books

Long-form reading for couples. One argument at a time, taken apart carefully and put back together in a way you can both live with.

For the argument underneath the argument

This shelf is for two people who keep reaching the same bad ending by different routes. The subject might be money, family, the washing up or a message that landed badly. What matters is the familiar shape underneath it.

The books are written for both of you. They do not give one person a diagnosis and the other a list of corrections. They give you something to notice, words for the part that is hard to say, and a small thing to try together.

On this shelf

The House We Build is the first title in the publisher’s list. It follows the same argument through the foundations, the heat and the doors that have stopped opening. Its catalogue record and cover are here so you can see what is being made. The manuscript is still in draft, and there is no sale or pre-order.
