Great Transition (2023)

Emi has grown up after a transformative movement helped avert climate catastrophe. Her mother's disappearance draws her back into the unresolved history of that achievement. Googins alternates rescue and repair work with a later society arguing about justice and responsibility. The hopeful element is collective action that has genuinely changed conditions; the tension comes from what its children inherit, misunderstand or still need to challenge. A family mystery gives the large political questions an emotional centre.
