:                                                                            :

: Flight Behavior transfixes from its opening scene, when a young woman's    :

: narrow experience of life is thrown wide with the force of a raging fire.  :

: In the lyrical language of her native Appalachia, Barbara Kingsolver bares :

: the rich, tarnished humanity of her novel's inhabitants and unearths the   :

: modern complexities of rural existence. Characters and reader alike are    :

: quickly carried beyond familiar territory here, into the unsettled ground  :

: of science, faith, and everyday truces between reason and conviction.      :

:                                                                            :

: Dellarobia Turnbow is a restless farm wife who gave up her own plans when  :

: she accidentally became pregnant at seventeen. Now, after a decade of      :

: domestic disharmony on a failing farm, she has settled for permanent       :

: disappointment but seeks momentary escape through an obsessive flirtation  :

: with a younger man. As she hikes up a mountain road behind her house to a  :

: secret tryst, she encounters a shocking sight: a silent, forested valley   :

: filled with what looks like a lake of fire. She can only understand it as a:

: cautionary miracle, but it sparks a raft of other explanations from        :

: scientists, religious leaders, and the media. The bewildering emergency    :

: draws rural farmers into unexpected acquaintance with urbane journalists,  :

: opportunists, sightseers, and a striking biologist with his own stake in   :

: the outcome. As the community lines up to judge the woman and her miracle, :

: Dellarobia confronts her family, her church, her town, and a larger world, :

: in a flight toward truth that could undo all she has ever believed.        :

:                                                                            :

: Flight Behavior takes on one of the most contentious subjects of our time: :

: climate change. With a deft and versatile empathy Kingsolver dissects the  :

: motives that drive denial and belief in a precarious world.                :
