Hmmm. I finished this book about a month ago and am trying to remember enough to review it! I don't think Amazon reviews are allowed here, but I am going to do it anyway - just like the last couple of books I read! One of my favorite books is "Poisonwood Bible" by Kingsolver so I anticipated having the same reaction to this book. She is a talented writer, spins a good tale, and I am glad I read this book, but I don't wish to read it again. The subject is just a little too wacky for me - all about the discovery of a miracle due to climate change. I guess the change goes beyond the actual "climate" but also the change in the main character's (Dellarobia) life. So here is what Amazon has to say:
"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."
