  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
