"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.

I did not like this book at all, in fact I could not finish it. Very unrealistic and with really no point. I did like the Poisonwood Bible very much and I wonder what has happened to this author, as I could not finish another book of hers---forgot even the name. In any event will not be reading her again

Weather is the Lord's business
I loved Flight behaviour (Faber & Faber) by Barbara Kingsolver, a novel about climate change and farm wife Dellarobia?s separation from her husband in America?s Deep South Bible belt.
There are parallels all the way through between her story and that of the monarch butterflies whose migration patterns have been altered by climate change. Dellarobia ?abides captivity? with her husband Cub, whose farming family don?t believe in climate change (?weather is the Lord?s business?) and plan to log the mountainside to pay off a loan. The migrating butterflies are said to be in ?diapause? which means ?shutting down their sex drive until further notice?like marriage?; and a tree that fell over in the endless autumn rain ?like herself, ? just seemed to have come loose from its station in life?.
The scientist who comes to study the butterflies relieves Dellarobia of ?a lifetime of illusions?Noah?s Ark and better days ahead?.

Terrific book
Beautifully written portrayal of this region of the country and the people who live there. Intimate, intriguing, mysterious and very well researched.
Characters thoughtfully and respectfully portrayed. Through out all of it she makes this aspect of global warming understandable as a possibility. I loved the book!

Another Winner by Kingsolver
In her latest novel Kingsolver delves slightly into the world of science fiction. No matter. Her depiction of Appalachia and the folks who inhabit this part of our country are spot on. Great plot line and a thoroughly enjoyable read.

Flight Behavior
Kingsolver has a gift with putting the mundane things of daily life into her form of language that is actually how many people think. It is amazing to read the way she does this all through the book. The content doesn't compel you to read as much as her gift with handling language. It is, however, a good read.
