Flight Behavior

♥ Barbara Kingsolver ♥

If you have read all of her books, after awhile they start to be a tiny bit predictable, and I do not care at all. I would read 1000 books about marginalized women fighting the odds to rally their communities to protect the environment.

I loved Dellarobia and Dovey. I loved all the layers here, and I loved that each character had depth and complexity–even the megachurch pastor, even the controlling mother-in-law, even the grad students. I love the intersectionality of class and race and gender. I love the the privilege checking. I love the butterflies.

I LOVE BARBARA KINGSOLVER.
