Flight Behavior

<p>Kingsolver is a gifted magician of words.<br />--<em>Time</em></p><p>The extraordinary <em>New York Times</em> bestselling author of <em>The Lacuna</em> (winner of the Orange Prize) <em>The Poisonwood Bible</em> (nominated for the Pulitzer Prize) and <em>Animal Vegetable Miracle</em> Barbara Kingsolver returns with a truly stunning and unforgettable work. <em>Flight Behavior</em> 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. <em>Flight Behavior</em> 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.</p>
