A review by jessicah95
Heat Wave by Penelope Lively

4.0

3.5 stars. Ironically felt somewhat lukewarm towards this one at first. I think this is definitely a book intended to be read during the course of one hot day, rather than in fits and starts as I approached it. After the initial perseverance needed, I was soon aptly rapt by the stifling simmering tension and depth of emotion portrayed by the characters. A worthy way to spend a summers day.
