Instructions for a Heatwave

A new novel from the Costa Award winning author of "The Hand That First Held Mine, After You'd Gone" and "The Distance Between Us". Set in the 1976 heatwave, it follows the meltdown of a London Irish family, as the father disappears and his disparate grown-up children return to the fold to try and find him. O'Farrell has now sold more than a million books in the UK, and this is richly comic and painfully well-observed. 'O'Farrell has a remarkable ability to convey the texture of human emotion with precision' "Observer"
