The Ice People

Maggie Gee


This is a bleak book, not a cheery read. It's on two levels - one a sci-fi level and the other about the impossibility of relationships between men and women.

It is about the new Ice Age - people do not have long to live, they are trying to flee to Africa but are not allowed in. Two people fall in love, have a child, the woman joins a strange group of radical women. The man is only kept alive by children because he knows how to repair the doves (robots) - and this part is quite funny.
