Is climate change real? In this book Shute takes the evidence that he sees around him and relates it to science. However the book is so much more than that. There is a passion about the environment and the ecology of Britain and how humans are affecting it, not just the seasons but the use of land. Interspersed are little vignettes from Shute's own life including the pain of infertility. It's a book which is hard to describe, it's just beautifully written and incredibly sad.
