Consider Darwinia by Robert Charles Wilson.
“Darwinia hinges on one large speculative change: Europe is replaced by a primeval continent, and the story follows characters dealing with political, ideological, and personal fallout. The narrative alternates travelogue-style description, tense survival episodes, and philosophical detours about belief, empire, and memory.

Its chief limitation is uneven pacing: long descriptive stretches and indulgent tangents leave several character lines underdeveloped and slow the narrative momentum.”
