Description
Instructions for a Heatwave is a gripping novel about a family's secrets and the devastating consequences of a disappearance. It's July 1976 and London is sweltering in a heatwave that refuses to break. When Robert Riordan fails to return from a trip, his wife Gretta's children are drawn back into their family's complex web of relationships and long-held resentments.
The search for Robert sets off a chain reaction of reckonings and reconciliations among the family members, each with their own theories about what might have happened to him. As the truth begins to unravel, the full extent of their mother's knowledge and the depth of their family's emotional scars become clear.
This masterful novel is a powerful exploration of the human condition, told with warmth, humour and a deep understanding of the complexities of family life.
