Instructions for a Heatwave by Maggie O'Farrell
3.0
“Why is it that twenty-four hours in the company of your family is capable of reducing you to a teenager?”
“Odd that your life can contain such significant tripwires to your future and, even while you wander through them, you have no idea.”
Really admire Maggie O'Farrell and her skills for such writing different and complex stories. We follow an Irish family, as they discover the disappearance of their patriarch. Each family member has their own struggles, identity crises, and gripes with their family. We have our families, and we may have our differences, but the love is there. Some may not be able to show this love, others may be able to peel away the layers of judgement, harshness, and darkness to find the brightness.
