mbuckley92 's review for:
The Age of Miracles
by Karen Thompson Walker
I loved this book. It is a beautiful coming of age storing set in an alternate reality where the rotation of the world is slowing. Although the main character is 11 years old, the voice, at times alludes to the future. Walker has created characters that are deep and flawed, sorrowful and joyful at times. And real. I loved Julia and could relate to her feelings as a girl with a crush. WHile the world around her is slowing down - the people in her life are trying to adapt - and not always easily. Although it is hard to imagine the world 'slowing', the science behind the affects of the slowing are believable. I highly recommend it.
