Barbara Kingsolver is one of my favorite authors, so I jumped at the chance to hear her speak about her latest bestseller, Flight Behavior. And she inspired me to write an article for The Women’s Eye. Here’s an excerpt:
… in Flight Behavior Kingsolver does, once again, what she does best. She looks at an issue from multiple points of view, empathizing with characters who disagree with each other, turning a question over and over like a pebble in a tumbler until the hard edges are worn away and the result is something you want to carry around in your pocket, to touch and turn and rub for days and weeks, until you know every part of it by heart.
Flight Behavior is about global climate change, which Kingsolver says is “the great undiscussed topic of our time. How we talk or don’t talk about climate change. Why we believe or don’t believe in climate change.” It’s also about hope.
