Anabel sends her heart to a man she meets on the subway, and he disappears with it. George is on the run but keeps getting distracted by feelings he’s never had before. Mona has resorted to virtual speed-dating to try and feel connected to the real world. Then a stranger appears on her doorstep in search of a missing heart… Poetic, funny, and deeply original, With Love and A Major Organ examines the universally trying task of reconciling the head and the heart, and the need for connection in our ever-changing world.
