Set in Lucknow, India, this novel follows a severe heat wave from its first weather warning to its devastating human cost. Through the eyes of radio journalist Kavita, emergency doctor Arjun, and poor families living under tin roofs, the story shows how extreme heat is not only a natural disaster, but also a test of society. Rain finally brings temporary relief, but it cannot wash away the deaths, fear, and inequality left behind by the heat. The novel asks a simple but painful question: when the world grows hotter, who has shelter, water, medicine, and a voice—and who is left under the sun?

2026年春夏,印度北方邦勒克瑙遭遇一场越来越早、越来越重的热浪。公共电台记者卡维塔从一条普通天气预报开始,逐渐追踪到医院、棚户区、清凉中心、死亡证明、物资流向和城市未来。医生阿琼、三轮车夫拉梅什、老人卡玛拉和女孩阿莎的命运,被同一个太阳拉到一起。小说写的不是单纯的高温,而是热浪之下水、电、住房、医疗、金钱和制度如何决定人的生死。这里的太阳不一样,因为它落到不同人身上,重量并不相同。

This book is a social thriller about a box of unusually sweet bayberries that sends an ordinary woman to the hospital. Her illness leads journalist Fang Wenqing into the hidden chain behind the fruit: pesticide use, chemical soaking, false “natural” labels, bribed inspections, and workers who refuse to eat what they sell. Through one small fruit, the novel exposes greed, silence, and the bitter truth behind manufactured sweetness.

本书以福建龙海杨梅泡药事件为原型,写上海消费者郝多福食用杨梅后严重腹泻住院,引出记者方问清暗访产地。小说通过工人吴阿桶不敢吃杨梅、果农林守实被逼下水、商贩苟二甜泡药牟利、协会会长曾行跪伪善洗白,以及监管、执法、税务等部门收钱装睡,揭示食品安全事件背后并非个别商户作恶,而是人心贪婪与体制性失守。结尾以“明年桔子”点出此类事件年年循环,讽刺所谓专项整治难除根弊。
