Our Take
The Earth's rotation slows and days stretch into darkness. Walker tells it through the eyes of an eleven-year-old girl, and the apocalypse becomes inseparable from adolescence — both are the end of a world you cannot get back. The gravity of the premise is matched by the gravity of growing up.
