Flight Behavior by Barbara Kingsolver
Pages: 448
Release Date: November 6, 2012
Publisher: Harper
Genre: Literary Fiction
A novel you wouldn’t put down once opening the first page.
Barbara wrote with close attention to language and intelligent arrangement of plot. Only having read the first chapter, you would never get right what the novel is really about.
Generally, the 2012 novel focuses on the interactions between humans and the natural environmental they are living in, which leads to a core topic of today’s environmental situation:climate change. But not like what we read in Science, where climate change is drawn in a scientific way. No logical reasoning, non data analysis, climate change in Flight Behavior is lyrically written, tragic, sad, forcing innocent monarch butterflies abandon their hometown (also original wintering habitat) and flew all the way to a small town in southern U.S for survival.
Family matters, communities, scientists, butterflies, climate change, meanings of life, faith…
No more spoilers, hope you enjoy this book and after reading it, would see more respects in environmental conservation.
