Book Discussion on the novel "Flight Behavior"

Coginchaug Area Transition is hosting a book discussion at Perk on Main this Wednesday, December 3rd, at 7 p.m. The book up for discussion is the novel Flight Behavior by Barbara Kingsolver. All are welcome to attend, whether or not you have finished or even started the book! Refreshments will be provided!

Synopsis

Set in the present day in the rural community of Feathertown, Tennessee, Flight Behavior tells the story of Dellarobia Turnbow, a petite, razor-sharp 29-year-old who nurtured worldly ambitions before becoming pregnant and marrying at seventeen. Now, after more than a decade of tending to small children on a failing farm, oppressed by poverty, isolation and her husband’s antagonistic family, she walks into something on the mountainside she cannot explain or understand: a forested valley filled with silent red fire that appears to her a miracle.

After years lived entirely in the confines of one small house, Dellarobia finds her path suddenly opening out, chapter by chapter, into blunt and confrontational engagement with her family, her church, her town, her continent, and finally the world at large.
