Imagine what would happen if the earth's rotation slowed and kept slowing. The days and and the nights as we know them would lengthen. Eventually, as the slowing continued, so again would the length of our days and nights. This is what happens in this wonderfully told story by Karen Thompson. Everything changes, plants and animals die off from too much heat or cold - light and dark to the extreme... This story, as told by a young woman's memory through it all, grabs you. I couldn't put this book down.
