Product Description
“Let Live” is a novel about climate change, and more. Through the eyes of an
environment journalist on a bike it deals with impact of the change on people affected by it. And it looks at powerful interests that don’t want people to know who is causing it.
Cycling through West and East Africa, the guy on a bike meets people who have been forced from their homes because of the climate change that Western countries are largely causing. He writes critical articles about the West’s failure to curb carbon emissions, and is especially damning of United States policy. The US, he points out, is invading the sovereignty of other countries. The CIA don’t like it, and a plot is hatched to remove him.
Drama and pathos combine with wit and humour to make this a powerful novel for our time. A novel can reveal truth in a profound way. Let Live is one such novel. Set in 2007, in the dying stages of the George W Bush presidency, the book is a strong challenge to Western government policies on climate change.
