Boris is an artist - a pianist. When he's working on a piece, time becomes meaningless; he will play all through the night and not notice. That enigmatic passion, once the very thing that attracted Andria to him, eventually caused their break up. Boris left, taking his piano and their dog Mimi with him. Things begin to look up for him when he starts seeing another artist Chiara. Surely she’ll understand the creative drive..? John McGlynn reads Boris's story Susie Maguire's trilogy of comic stories about the fallout from a break-up. Who gets left with what? Music, water, transportation, arithmetic, possessions, separations....and love. Producer: Sarah Langan First broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in September 2010.
