OFFILL JENNY DEPT OF SPECULATION

From the Women's Prize Shortlisted-author of Weather   an electrifying  funny and wise account
of a couple falling out of one another's orbit.     'It is the kind of book that you will be
quoting over and over to friends who don't quite understand  until they give in and read it
too' John Self  Guardian     They used to send each other letters. The return address was
always the same: Dept. of Speculation.    They used to be young  brave  and giddy with hopes
for their future. They got married  had a child  and skated through all the small calamities of
family life. But then  slowly  quietly something changes. As the years rush by  fears creep in
and doubts accumulate until finally their life as they know it cracks apart and they find
themselves forced to reassess what they have lost  what is left  and what they want now.    
Dept. of Speculation navigates the jagged edges of a modern marriage to tell a story that is
darkly funny  surprising and wise.     'Funny  and moving  and true... It tells a profound
story of love and parenthood while invoking (among others) Keats  Kafka  Einstein  Russian
cosmonauts  and advice for the housewife of 1897' Michael Cunningham
