Heatwave

Set over a tense and suffocating long weekend in the South of France, Victor Jestin’s novel explores the intense psychological landscape of adolescence through the story of Leonard, a teenager who witnesses a tragic event but is unable to intervene. As heat and emotional turmoil build, the story delves into themes of morality, silence, and the darker impulses lurking within us all. This compelling and vivid narrative invites reflection on the nature of evil and human response in moments of crisis.
