Life goes on in the face of a climate crisis in this astonishing and
unforgettable debut novel that follows four characters as they struggle
to survive in a burning world.
Even when the climate crisis escalates beyond our worst nightmares and
people become refugees, the world keeps turning and life carries on as
usual: teenaged love stories, marital collapses, identity crises, and
revolts against hopeless parents continue to play out.
Didrik is a forty-year-old media consultant whose misguided efforts to
become the family hero render him a pathetic vision of masculine
incompetence. Melissa is an influencer with a suitcase full of lost
dreams after denying climate change for years. André is the
nineteen-year-old loser son of an international sports star who uses the
erupting violence around him to orchestrate his own personal vengeance
on his negligent father. And Vilja is Didrik's teenaged daughter who
steps into a leadership role in the face of adult ineptitude.
"Simultaneously nerve-wracking, astute, and consumedly entertaining"
(Sydsvenskan, Sweden) and through these four related stories, Even If
Everything Ends eloquently illustrates a picture of a very near future
that is at once extraordinary and entirely realistic.
