Series Statement:
Palgrave Macmillan studies in family and intimate life
Content:
"We tend to imagine that living apart from lovers is painful and unpleasant, but for many couples relating at a distance is not just a difficult or necessary part of their life, but may have its pleasures. This book draws on interviews with UK couples in distance relationships to explain, evaluate and advance sociological debates about intimate life. It provides a rich and human perspective on how bodies, emotions and connections to others are key in maintaining intimate relationships"--
