Hopeland

Part secret history urban fantasy, part near future SF, all written in wonderful prose, how this book starts is not where it ends. It's a picaresque novel of climate change, taking us from the South Pacific to Greenland, via a riot torn London and a sprawling Irish family estate that isn't always there. Deep and complex, but powered by likeable and well drawn characters, it's quite the journey, and one you will not regret taking. Has to be in the conversation when awards time comes round.
