Club Lunch: Fairhaven - A Novel of Climate Optimism

Book synopsis: What will it take to fix the climate crisis? Fairhaven - A Novel of Climate Optimism follows the path of Grace Chan, born in Penang, Malaysia, who has experienced the consequences of climate change and is taking action. Fairhaven envisions in an engrossing, readily-accessible story on how a range of practical climate adaptation and mitigation solutions could work when fully implemented.
Fairhaven opens in 2036 as Grace is days away from assuming office as the President of the newly-formed Ocean Independent State. Driving along the edge of a Penang dyke to clear her mind, her truck crashes and she comes close to death as the tide rises. As she reviews her life, the reader comes to understand what has brought her (and the world) to this point, how she will move forward, and the surprising role that ordinary individuals can play.
