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
