After finishing Dan Smith's excellent thriller The Child Thief set in the Ukraine winter of 1930,I started Karen Thompson Walker's The Age Of Miracles. Very good so far,an 11 yr old girl in California how her family and friends react when the earth slows down and the days become gradually longer. Also ordered One Child's War by Hugh Hafani Hayes,a fictional novel telling the story of how one family lives through the Blitz in WW2.
