Jeff Murray's new novel offers life after the Big Melt

From Standing Room Only, 2:38 pm on 23 June 2019

It's 2048 and the dire predictions about climate change made decades earlier have come true. In his novel Melt, Auckland writer Jeff Murray imagines New Zealand's response to a wave of migrants.

Jeff tells Lynn Freeman that Antarctica may also become a potential new home after substantial ice melt. Melt is out on the Mary Egan Publishing label.
