{"product_id":"heat-wave-9780060928551","title":"Heat Wave","description":"It is a long, hot summer at World's End, a two-family grey stone cottage in the English countryside. Pauline is editing a romance novel in the smaller dwelling, and the larger part is occupied by her daughter, Teresa; Teresa's baby; and her husband, Maurice, a writer, whose infatuation with his editor's girlfriend is growing. \u003cp\u003e Pauline fears for Teresa, who is passionately in love with her husband, for she senses Maurice's imminent betrayal. She remembers a time when her possessive passion for Teresa's father eroded her own youth. A stunning and unexpected denouncement irrevocably changes the order of things for this family, whose intimacy the reader abandons reluctantly at novel's end.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Harper Perennial\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/06\/1997\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780060928551\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 228\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.99h x 5.31w x 0.54d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/28\/1997 pg. 36\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNY Times Notable Bks of Year\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/1997 pg. 97\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penelope Lively","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43040147407029,"sku":"9780060928551","price":13.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_916e1a9b-ce56-45dc-b0a1-17f9e894a2a1.jpg?v=1689085649","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/heat-wave-9780060928551","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
