"Kingsolver is a gifted magician of words." -Time The extraordinary New
York Times bestselling author of The Lacuna (winner of the Orange
Prize), The Poisonwood Bible (nominated for the Pulitzer Prize), and
Animal, Vegetable, Miracle, Barbara Kingsolver returns with a truly
stunning and unforgettable work. Flight Behavior is a brilliant and
suspenseful novel set in present day Appalachia; a breathtaking parable
of catastrophe and denial that explores how the complexities we
inevitably encounter in life lead us to believe in our particular chosen
truths. Kingsolver's riveting story concerns a young wife and mother on
a failing farm in rural Tennessee who experiences something she cannot
explain, and how her discovery energizes various competing
factions-religious leaders, climate scientists, environmentalists,
politicians-trapping her in the center of the conflict and ultimately
opening up her world. Flight Behavior is arguably Kingsolver's must
thrilling and accessible novel to date, and like so many other of her
acclaimed works, represents contemporary American fiction at its finest.
