A sequence of 144 sonnets. These poems range across a number of topics related to marriage: parenthood, family, friendship, sex, divorce and bereavement and refer from time to time to marriages in literature, opera and the Old Testament. The verse is accomplished, the analysis of marriage both instructive and entertaining, the compassion and wisdom remarkable. This is a poet who means what he says, and writes frankly and honestly about a relationship too often taken for granted or hidden by the social convention of marital privacy.
John Elinger is the pen-name of Sir Christopher Ball, sometime Warden of Keble College, Oxford, and Chancellor of the University of Derby: he describes these poems as "a labour of love, and a celebration and study of marriage—our own and others". The collection is warmly endorsed by Sir Paul Coleridge, Founder and Chairman of Marriage Foundation.
