(<i>Time</i>)</p> <p>The extraordinary <i>New York Times</i> best-selling author of <i>The Lacuna</i> (winner of the Orange Prize), <i>The Poisonwood Bible</i> (nominated for the Pulitzer Prize), and <i>Animal, Vegetable, Miracle</i>, Barbara Kingsolver returns with a truly stunning and unforgettable work.</p> <p><i>Flight Behavior</i> 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.</p> <p><i>Flight Behavior</i> is arguably Kingsolver's most thrilling and accessible novel to date, and like so many other of her acclaimed works, represents contemporary American fiction at its finest.</p>
