A new dystopian novel imagines Aotearoa as one of the last nations in the world with clean, drinkable water.
In Vividwater, we follow Alex, whose job it is to sell our water overseas for the water trading bureau, WaiOra, in a dry and divided Wellington.
The book was longlisted for the Grindstone Literary International Novel Prize, and twice shortlisted for the Laura Solomon Cuba Press Prize.
It's out now and its author Jacqueline Owens chats to Emile Donovan.
