The Mrs. Unguentine is a masterpiece of modern domestic life, a comic novel of closeness and difficulty, miscommunication and stubborn resolve. \"Forty years ago I first linked up with Unguentine and we made love on twin-hulled catamarans, sails a-billow, bless the seas . . .\"So begins the courtship of a certain Unguentine to the woman we know only as \"Mrs. Unguentine,\" the chronicler of their sad, fantastical tale. For forty years, they sail the seas together, alone on a giant land-covered barge of their own devising. They tend their gardens, raise a child, invent an artificial forest-all the while steering clear of civilization.   Rarely has a book so perfectly registered the secret solitude of marriage, how shared loneliness can result in a powerful bond.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56419968745845,"sku":"9781628975628","price":14.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781628975628.jpg?v=1764603745","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781628975628","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
