ajamarsh 's review for:

The Age of Miracles by Karen Thompson Walker

5.0

I loved this. As an environmentalist whose thoughts drift to what may come this story struck a chord (and encouraged some disturbing dreams!). This was very well written and in such a great narrative voice. One of the things I appreciated most about this book was its succinctness-- in a day where trilogies and long books rule, this book comes in at less than 300 pages in hardcover and tells such a well-edited, specific story, you finish feeling sated. I suppose I'm not always picking books I know will be excellent to begin with but it was such a nice change to read something genuinely wonderful.
