Krátky popis
Published in Penguin Modern Classics, Penelope Lively's Heat Wave
is 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. 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.
Penelope Lively (b. 1933) was born in Cairo. She has twice been
shortlisted for the Booker Prize, once in 1977 for her first novel,
The Road to Lichfield, and again in 1984 for According to Mark. She
later won the 1987 Booker Prize for her highly acclaimed novel Moon
Tiger. Her novels include Passing On, City of the Mind, Cleopatra's
Sister and Heat Wave, and many are published by Penguin.
