Foden's writing vividly paints a picture of the morally complex realities facing western characters in contemporary Africa, highlighting the fierce competition for natural resources.
In Thirst, Cat Brosnan's quest for a hidden aquifer intertwines with themes of environmentalism and the exploitation of Africa’s resources by foreign governments and corporations.
The novel captures a future where climate change exacerbates existing conflicts, framing the aquifer's search as both a humanitarian and a commercial battleground.
Foden echoes the adventuresome spirit of his previous characters, yet Cat's journey is governed by a deep ecological consciousness against a backdrop of political turmoil.
