The Age of Miracles by Nancy Thompson Walker

What would happen if suddenly the days became 25 or 30 hours long? Would we, as a human race, adjust accordingly, or still try to maintain the 24 hour day we are accustomed to and that works for us?

This is the premise of this interesting book. It is, at its core, a "coming of age story," told from a 12 year old's perspective. But still, it is compelling and draws the reader in from the start.

I don't normally like "sci-fi" books like this but I did really enjoy reading this novel. And now I am watching "the Leftovers," on HBO, from the Tom Perotta novel by the same name.
