Flight Behavior -- Barbara Kingsolver

<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><br><br><b>Author:</b> Barbara Kingsolver<br><b>Publisher:</b> HarperLuxe<br><b>Published:</b> 11/06/2012<br><b>Pages:</b> 688<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 1.55lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 8.90h x 6.00w x 1.50d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780062124302<br><b>Large Print</b><p></p>
