Spin (2005)

Three children watch the stars disappear, and the consequences follow them into adult life. Wilson makes Spin's enormous temporal premise legible through relationships before Axis and Vortex move the enquiry beyond the first book's familiar ground. Read the completed trilogy in that order. The later novels change protagonists and setting, so choose it for an expanding investigation across lives, rather than the promise that one childhood group will remain at the centre of every volume.
