Pauline is spending the summer at World's End, a cottage somewhere in the middle
of England. This year the adjoining cottage is occupied by her daughter Teresa
and baby grandson Luke; and, of course, Maurice, the man Teresa married. As the
hot months unfold, Maurice grows ever more involved in the book he is writing -
and with his female copy editor - and Pauline can only watch in dismay and anger
as her daughter repeats her own mistakes in love. The heat and tension will lead
to a violent, startling climax.
In Heat Wave, Penelope Lively gives us a moving portrayal of a fragile family
damaged and defined by adultery, and the lengths to which a mother will go to
protect the ones she loves.
