摘要
这部小说展示了我们如何面对当前的危机,避免否认和绝望。一个似是而非的积极结局使得这本书不仅在这一类型中非常不同寻常,而且可能是你应该读的关于这一主题的最重要的书。虽然有许多插曲和次要情节,但重点还是在弗兰克(Frank)和玛丽(Mary)身上。弗兰克是一名患有热浪后创伤后应激障碍(PTSD)的美国援助工作者,玛丽是未来部(Ministry for the Future)的负责人。未来部是《巴黎协定》(Paris Agreement)创建的一个组织,旨在为子孙后代争取权益。

This novel demonstrates how we can face our current crises avoiding both denial and despair. A plausible, positive ending makes this not only a very unusual book in this genre, but probably the most important book you should read on this subject. While there are many interludes and side plots, the focus is on Frank, an American aid worker suffering from heat-wave PTSD, and Mary, the director of the Ministry for the Future, an organization created by the Paris Agreement to advocate for future generations.
