FUTURE IMPERFECT

275pp., paperback, La Garde, 2023

Novel set in France in 2050, a time of climate catastrophe and homeless, stateless climate refugees.

"An incredibly good read ... both deeply personal and political, it will become part of the canon of climate novels ... its tone is somewhere between Kim Stanley Robinson's Ministry For the Future and Barbara Kingsolver's Unsheltered. Rehad Desai, director of Miners Shot Down and How to Steal a Country
