I have recently read Age of Miracles, by Karen Thompson Walker. It was a very good book. From the very beginning of the book her specific sentence structures pull you in like a fish on a hook. It is a bildungsroman, a coming of age story, so throughout the novel, you get to witness a young girl named Julia learn to deal with problems of all sorts... some worse than others. The earth's rotation is slowing rapidly, affecting more than anyone could have imagined. It affects her friends, family, the gravity, and the environment. Now I know that if the earth's rotation really does slow, I can say goodbye to meal time, no life will be able to survive.
