BOOK DESCRIPTION
A memoir of family, devotion and non-monogamy in the face of cancer and heartbreak.
Vilified by the media and threatened with the loss of her children for her outspoken non-monogamous lifestyle, Louisa Leontiades is, unbeknownst to the outside world, being defeated by mundanity. Four years of caring for toddlers and living in tracksuits has left her anxious, exhausted and virtually celibate. Her partner, Morten, fails in love with Yasmin, whose conservative Muslim family will never allow them to be together unless he leaves Louisa. Louisa herself falls for Janus, a terminal cancer patient looking for a mother for his children before he dies.
As Louisa and Morten seem poised to be torn apart, Louisa learns she has a potentially fatal tumour. Should she start a family with Janus (is she lives)? Escaping the prosaic ache of the commonplace will put Louisa and her family through heartbreak, tragedy and confrontation with the ever-present spectre of death.
A sequel to A World in Us: A Memoir of Open Marriage, Turbulent Love and Hard-Won Wisdom, Necessary to Life takes an unflinching look at the importance of seizing the moment and the costs of following your heart.

ΠΕΡΙΓΡΑΦΗ ΒΙΒΛΙΟΥ
“...Έννοιες και πρακτικές όπως «αποκλειστικότητα», «κτητικότητα», «μονογαμία», «γάμος», «πίστη», «απιστία», «κεράτωμα» θεωρούνται στις μέρες μας αποδεκτές σαν αυτονόητες. Σαν κάτι μοιραίο που το προκαλεί και το έχει ανάγκη η «φύση» του ανθρώπου. Σαν φυσικός νόμος, κάτι δεδομένο, αναλλοίωτο, και αιώνιο. Το ίδιο ισχύει και για την πυρηνική οικογένεια. Το διαζύγιο παραμένει ένα αναγκαίο κακό ενώ ο γάμος ένα αναγκαίο καλό με κάποιες «μικρές» επιφυλάξεις, που εν τέλει δεν εξετάζονται παραπέρα και αγνοούνται....
"...Ο στόχος αυτού του βιβλίου δεν είναι να πείσει αλλά να προβληματίσει, όσο και αν κάποιες σκέψεις - απόψεις εκφράζονται αποφατικά, για να μην χαλάσει η αισθητική του, με το να προστίθεται στην αρχή κάθε τέτοιας πρότασης ένα ΙΣΩΣ. Απλά έτσι νομίζουμε και αισθανόμαστε τώρα. Έτσι «έδοξε» τοις γράφουσι, ως ατόμων και προσώπων ταυτόχρονα μοναχικών και κοινωνικών, που ψάχνουν την αλήθεια τους και θέλουν να την μοιραστούν."

BOOK DESCRIPTION
You've probably heard of polyamory– expanded loving relationships, done openly and honestly. Maybe you've had caring feelings for someone else even though you love your spouse or partner as deeply as always. Maybe you're single; you want a committed relationship with someone; but you don't want to give up the freedom to date others with integrity.
Maybe you and your spouse or partner already live a polyamorous lifestyle – but sometimes you aren't sure how to proceed. Maybe the two of you would like to bring a third partner, or more, into your hearts and home as a triad, quad, etc., but you aren't sure how to go about it. Maybe you are already a family of three, four or more, but the complex interpersonal dynamics threaten to overwhelm you.
In these pages you'll find guidance about–
•what polyamory is and is not;
•communication, conflict resolution, and emotional growth;
•ethical considerations;
•sexual hygiene;
•children;
•wills, discrimination, and legal hassles; and much more
Whether you are well experienced with polyamory, or new at it, or curius about it, you'll find answers here, all conveniently arranged in numbered sections for easy reference.
The author has had many decades of experience living various forms of polyamory, including in a multi-adult household, in a polyamorous couple, and a secondary. He is co-founder of three local polyamry groups and has had workshops at various polyamory conferences.
