A review by margaretpottah
The Bloater by Rosemary Tonks

4.0

“Are we fully adult, responsible pillars of society? Certainly; it's simply that we're allowed two or three safety valves nowadays, and rank silliness is one of them.”

The Bloater slapped. it looks at the politics of relationships like a Jane Austen novel, except the leading lady is already married and the relationships are affairs. acerbic, poignant, and mostly timeless.
