About the book

The Semi-Attached Couple by Emily Eden is a witty novel of manners examining marriage and upper-class society in nineteenth-century England. At its centre is a newly married couple whose relationship begins with misunderstandings and emotional distance. Eden observes her characters with humour and sharp social insight, particularly the expectations surrounding marriage, family connections and fashionable society. Often compared with Jane Austen for its wit and social observation, the novel offers an entertaining portrait of aristocratic domestic life.
