Description
The Bloater by Rosemary Tonks is a sparklingly ironic comedy of manners that explores the complexities of love, relationships, and identity. Min, a woman struggling to replicate the sound of a heartbeat at work, finds herself torn between her husband's invisible presence and the affections of her lodger, a renowned opera singer nicknamed "The Bloater". This unromantic romantic comedy is a witty and tender portrayal of the human heart, full of flaws and contradictions.
