Reviews

'This careful set of studies of family life creates a vibrant understanding of the mechanics and disagreements of marital life ... and takes us well beyond exisiting knowledge. ...This is a book that will have wide appeal and constitute a major contribution to the understanding of the continuities of daily life that make up the whole experience of belonging to a partnership.' - Steve Duck, University of Iowa
