Format: Paperback

Condition: Standard Secondhand — £7.17
What do the conditions mean?

Our conditions mean the following:

  • New - a brand new book
  • Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
  • Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
  • Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
  • Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

All your old loves come back in the end, in dreams or reality. When you look at each other, you see the old selves. Choose lovers carefully, because you'll have them forever...

Susan Stewart thought her relationship with Phillip Jordan was long over. Then she glimpses him again in her home town of Washington, DC and the memories return. Is Phillip deliberately haunting Susan? Or are her own distorted memories turning a long, hot, oppressive summer into a nightmare which threatens to unravel the web of her life?

HEAT is a magnificent, ensnaring novel of obsession.

'....she has restored passion to the serious English novel.....it takes courage and nerve to put passion at the centre of a novel and to take it and its companion, obsession, as seriously as Emily Bronte did. Yet that is what (she) has dared to do: to remove Wuthering Heights from the Yorkshire Moors and place it in a long hot Washington summer' - Allan Massie, THE SCOTSMAN
