The Age of Miracles by Karen Thompson Walker

Think back to when you were a teen or preteen and all the changes and drama that took place as you were coming of age. Now imagine coming of age during a possible apocalypse. That is the premise of Karen Thompson Walker’s book The Age of Miracles. The novel is a beautiful blend of coming of age story and apocalyptic fiction. We  recently discussed The Age of Miracles at our Novel Realities book club.  If you enjoy speculative fiction and fiction that reaches beyond the normal realm, please join us for future Novel Realities discussions on the second Thursday of each month at 7 p.m. at Sharon Forks Library.
