An uncomfortable, depressing novel set in near-future Cape Town, amid water shortages, wildfires and other climate related challenges. The main character is unpleasant, difficult, and bitter, but I was not without sympathy. This short novel is very engaging and layered with spare writing. Despite the depressing storyline and extremely unlikeable main character, I really liked this book.
