The Tale for Three

Counties book choice for

2014 is a debut novel by

Karen Thompson Walker,

The Age of Miracles. On an ordinary Satur-

day in a California suburb,

Julia and her family

awake to discover, along

with the rest of the world,

that the rotation of the earth has sud-

denly begun to slow . The days and nights

grow longer and longer, gravity is af-

fected, the environment is thrown into

disarray. Yet as she struggles to navigate

an ever-shifting landscape, Julia is also

coping with the normal disasters of every-

day life - the fissures in her parents’ mar-

riage, the loss of old friends, and the

hopeful anguish of first love. As Julia ad-

justs to the new normal, the slowing con-

tinues.
