Me, You, Them

Penguin Shop: 3 Clothbound Classics for £33

A deeply intimate and beautifully written memoir of female desire all told through the lens of one woman and her open marriage. Through self-excavation, honesty and piercing insight, Sage picks herself apart to find the sparks that triggered the expansion of a marriage into unfamiliar terrain. The result is an intimate portrait of a marriage that embraces the fluidity of desire, new beginnings, appetites and possibilities, but also love, commitment and trust.

'I feel like we have crossed over some invisible line. The rules we have lived inside are not real. I’m not sure it’s possible to go back, even if I wanted to.' 
 
Evie Sage assumed she was entering a marriage as conventional as the wedding vows she made. 
 
Here was an opportunity to leave behind all the uncertainties of her life: the dizzying twists and turns of her attractions, her unexplored feelings for a best friend, the fear that she wanted too much. But the questions she had been asking herself since girlhood remained. 
 
What does it mean to be attracted to someone? How do we know what – and who – we want? How important is it to have all our desires met? And what becomes of those left unfulfilled? 
 
There’s only one thing Sage knows for sure: she doesn’t want to live inside the lines. 
 
Me, You, Them is an honest and raw account of how one woman’s journey of self-exploration sparked the expansion of a marriage into unfamiliar terrain. In her intimate and lyrical meditations on the fluidity of our desires, Sage confronts the idea that marriage marks the end of certain types of discoveries. Instead, she lays bare a marriage of new beginnings, of appetites and possibilities, but also of love, commitment and trust.

Evie Sage is an author and entrepreneur. She is a published novelist under a different name. As Evie Sage, she is able to be completely honest and allow her story – Me, You, Them – to speak for itself. She could be your friend, your neighbour, or the woman you sit down next to on a train. Her story could be your story.
