»Det var länge sedan en bok fångade mig på detta sätt.« Beccas bokhylla
»En inte allt för obehaglig men otroligt spännande och intressant psykologisk thriller om märkliga händelser i tid och rum. Väldigt skickligt skriven!« Trettio sidor
»Wow! Så annorlunda. När man läst ut den sitter man där och börjar fundera, vad är det jag precis läst?« Boksniffaren
Året efter att hennes barn fötts drabbas Jane av en serie märkliga episoder: minnesförlust, hallucinationer, obehagliga föraningar och en oförklarlig känsla av rädsla. Janes psykiatriker försöker förstå vad som pågår i hennes huvud, men så försvinner hon plötsligt. En dag senare hittas hon medvetslös i en park, och när hon vaknar till liv har hon ingen aning om vad som hänt med henne. Är Janes upplevelser kopplade till den utmattning hon lider av som ensamstående mamma, eller till ett trauma i hennes förflutna? Varför har hon syner där en ung man som dog för tjugo år sedan varnar henne för en kommande katastrof ? Symptomen leder Janes psykiatriker långt in i hennes medvetande – och får honom att ifrågasätta allt han trodde sig veta. I översättning av Villemo Linngård Oksanen.

NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY People ∙ O: The Oprah Magazine ∙ Financial Times ∙ Kansas City Star ∙ BookPage ∙ Kirkus Reviews ∙ Publishers Weekly ∙ BooklistNEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER “A stunner.”—Justin Cronin “It’s never the disasters you see coming that finally come to pass—it’s the ones you don’t expect at all,” says Julia, in this spellbinding novel of catastrophe and survival by a superb new writer. Luminous, suspenseful, unforgettable, The Age of Miracles tells the haunting and beautiful story of Julia and her family as they struggle to live in a time of extraordinary change. On an ordinary Saturday in a California suburb, Julia awakes to discover that something has happened to the rotation of the earth. The days and nights are growing longer and longer; gravity is affected; the birds, the tides, human behavior, and cosmic rhythms are thrown into disarray. In a world that seems filled with danger and loss, Julia also must face surprising developments in herself, and in her personal world—divisions widening between her parents, strange behavior by her friends, the pain and vulnerability of first love, a growing sense of isolation, and a surprising, rebellious new strength. With crystalline prose and the indelible magic of a born storyteller, Karen Thompson Walker gives us a breathtaking portrait of people finding ways to go on in an ever-evolving world. “Gripping drama . . . flawlessly written; it could be the most assured debut by an American writer since Jennifer Egan’s Emerald City.”—The Denver Post “Pure magnificence.”—Nathan Englander “Provides solace with its wisdom, compassion, and elegance.”—Curtis Sittenfeld “Riveting, heartbreaking, profoundly moving.”—Kirkus Reviews (starred review) Look for special features inside.

An ordinary town is transformed by a mysterious illness that triggers perpetual sleep in this mesmerizing novel from the New York Times bestselling author of The Age of Miracles. “This book is stunning.”—Emily St. John Mandel, author of Station Eleven One night in an isolated college town in the hills of Southern California, a first-year student stumbles into her dorm room, falls asleep—and doesn’t wake up. She sleeps through the morning, into the evening. Her roommate, Mei, cannot rouse her. Neither can the paramedics, nor the perplexed doctors at the hospital. When a second girl falls asleep, and then a third, Mei finds herself thrust together with an eccentric classmate as panic takes hold of the college and spreads to the town. A young couple tries to protect their newborn baby as the once-quiet streets descend into chaos. Two sisters turn to each other for comfort as their survivalist father prepares for disaster.Those affected by the illness, doctors discover, are displaying unusual levels of brain activity, higher than has ever been recorded before. They are dreaming heightened dreams—but of what? Written in luminous prose, The Dreamers is a breathtaking and beautiful novel, startling and provocative, about the possibilities contained within a human life—if only we are awakened to them. Advance praise for The Dreamers“Frighteningly powerful, beautiful, and uncanny, The Dreamers is a love story and also a horror story—a symphonic achievement, alternating intimate moments with a panoramic capture of a crisis in progress.”—Karen Russell, author of Vampires in the Lemon Grove“A modern Midsummer Night’s Dream . . . In this wonderful novel, Walker paints a haunting canvas exploring time, memory, consciousness, and youth.”—Marisha Pessl, author of Night Film“What a book! I read The Dreamers in a dream of sorts myself, entirely transported into Karen Thompson Walker’s world of mysterious tragedy and infinite, if unexpected, compassion. This is a profound novel, and a deeply moving one. How she takes a terrifying situation and reveals it as a thing of beauty, a lesson in the human spirit, is a mystery to me, but she does exactly that, and fortunate readers will celebrate this extraordinary book.”—Robin Black, author of Life Drawing

'A stunner from the first page - an end-of-the-world, coming-of-age tale of quiet majesty. I loved this novel ' Justin Cronin, author of The PassageWHAT IF our 24-hour day grew longer, first in minutes, then in hours until day becomes night and night becomes day? What effect would this slowing have on the world? On the birds in the sky, the whales in the sea, the astronauts in space, and on an eleven-year-old girl, grappling with emotional changes in her own life...? One morning, Julia and her parents wake up in their suburban home in California to discover, along with the rest of the world, that the rotation of the earth is noticeably slowing. The enormity of this is almost beyond comprehension. And yet, even if the world is, in fact, coming to an end, as some assert, day-to-day life must go on. Julia, facing the loneliness and despair of an awkward adolescence, witnesses the impact of this phenomenon on the world, on the community, on her family and on herself.'It is never what you worry over that comes to pass in the end. The real catastrophies are always different - unimagined, unprepared for, unknown…'

''A luminous, magical coming-of-age novel''Marie ClaireMaybe everything that had happened to me and my family had nothing at all to do with the slowing. It''s possible, I guess. But I doubt it. I doubt it very much.'' One Saturday morning the world wakes to discover that the rotation of the earth has begun to slow. As birds fall from the sky and days grow longer, people start to flee - but there is nowhere on earth to escape to. Julia is already coping with the disasters of everyday life. And then there''s Seth: tall and quiet and always on his own; the skateboarding boy who knows all about disaster. As the world faces a catastrophe, Julia and Seth are facing their very own unknown.

Pysäyttävä tarina katastrofista ja selviytymisestä, kasvusta ja muutoksesta.
Karen Thompson Walkerin Ihmeiden aika on henkeäsalpaava muotokuva ihmisistä, jotka yrittävät löytää tien eteenpäin alati muuttuvassa maailmassa
Aurinkoisena lauantaiaamuna kalifornialaisessa esikaupungissa 11-vuotias Julia vanhempineen saa tietää, että maapallon pyöriminen on alkanut hidastua. Tv:n täyttävät uutiset, jotka kertovat vuorokauden pidentyneen melkein tunnin yhden yön aikana. Viikkojen kuluessa päivät ja yöt pitenevät pitenemistään ja maan painovoima alkaa kasvaa. Linnut, vuorovedet ja ihmisten käytös luisuvat sekasortoon.
Maailman täyttyessä vaaroista Julian täytyy kohdata myös muutokset itsessään ja omassa pienessä maailmassaan: hänen vanhempiensa välille kasvava kuilu, ensirakkauden mukanaan tuoma haavoittuvuus, kasvava yksinäisyys ja yllättävä, lannistumaton rohkeus.
