Clade by James Bradley
4.0

A story of environmental collapse, this novel follows a related group of characters through several generations. Every section jumps ahead a decade or so, so you get a sense of change over time. Each jump follows someone different, which is a bit jarring: you have to play catchup to figure out how who you're following is connected (in one case I never did), which kind of ruins the emotional attachment. Otherwise it's a pretty quick and powerful portrayal of environmental panic.
