: :
: 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. :
