With comparisons to books by Margaret Atwood, Ray Bradbury, and Alice Sebold, The Age of Miracles was one of the most anticipated and critically acclaimed debut novels of 2012. Karen Thompson Walker, author ofThe Age of Miracles, is is the recipient of the 2011 Sirenland Fellowship as well as a Bomb Magazine fiction prize. The Age of Miracles is a luminous, haunting, and unforgettable debut novel about coming of age set against the backdrop of an utterly altered world. A former book editor at Simon & Schuster, wroteThe Age of Miracles in the mornings before work—sometimes while riding the subway.
In The Age of Miracles, the world is ending not with a bang so much as a long, drawn-out whimper. And it turns out the whimper can be a lot harder to cope with. The Earth's rotation slows, gradually stretching out days and nights and subtly affecting the planet's gravity. The looming apocalypse parallels the adolescent struggles of 10-year-old Julia, as her comfortable suburban life succumbs to a sort of domestic deterioration. Julia confronts her parents' faltering marriage, illness, the death of a loved one, her first love, and her first heartbreak. Karen Thompson Walker is a gifted storyteller. Her language is precise and poetic, but style never overpowers the realism she imbues to her characters and the slowing Earth they inhabit. Most impressively, Thompson Walker has written a coming-of-age tale that asks whether it's worth coming of age at all in a world that might end at any minute. Like the best stories about the end of the world, The Age of Miracles is about the existence of hope and whether it can prevail in the face of uncertainty.
