The Age of Miracles by Karen Thompson Walker

4.0

---

I would characterize this book as light sci-fi (not sure if that’s a thing). And I found it absolutely fascinating. The premise is that the rotating of the earth gradually starts to slow down. It’s subtle at first and then becomes more dramatic. It’s so interesting to see how people handle the changes and how the longer stretches of daylight and darkness affect pretty much everything. It’s told through the viewpoint of Julia, an adolescent, so it has a nice coming of age framework as well. I’d recommend this to anyone.
