Description

Written by Barbara Kingsolver, the Orange Prize-winning author of The Lacuna and million-selling The Poisonwood Bible, and brought to you by FaberShop, Flight Behaviour is a novel about catastrophe and denial. On the Appalachian Mountains above her home, a young mother discovers a beautiful and terrible marvel of nature. As the world around her is suddenly transformed by a seeming miracle, can the old certainties that people have lived by for centuries remain unchallenged? The book delves into topical issues including poverty, class and climate change as it answers this question. A suspenseful and extraordinary tale that is epic in scope, rich in content and Kingsolver's most accessible novel so far. Essential reading for any fan of contemporary fiction.
