THE SUNLIGHT PILGRIMS by Jenni Fagin is one that you hate to see end

The moment I began this book I just wanted to sit and read. This is the book you hate to see end. I absolutely loved this book. Takes place in 2020 in a small caravan park in Scotland where the residents are expecting the worst winter in history. Not quite a dystopian novel but definitely one on the effects of the gulf stream slowing down as affected by global warming. However the story is really about the characters; a man who has left his London home, which was a small independent movie theater, after the deaths of his grandmother and mother, the young girl he meets when arriving at the caravan park and her bohemian mother. There are other characters that are pertinent to the story that provide insight and conflict. I've read where some reviewers are calling this a YA novel, perhaps because the young girl, Stella, is the central character with the most important story to tell. However I highly recommend this novel whether you like or dislike YA novels, the characters are likable, interesting and there are many morals in this simple tale.
