ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

"Flight Behavior" by Barbara Kingsolver tells the story of Dellarobia, a woman living in rural Appalachia whose life is disrupted by the sudden appearance of monarch butterflies in her area. The novel explores Dellarobia's personal transformation as she grapples with her family, her community, and the unexpected ecological event unfolding on her doorstep. The narrative follows Dellarobia's engagement with a team of scientists, which brings her new perspectives on the natural world and the concept of climate change. As the story progresses, she begins to understand that the butterflies’ unusual behavior is not just a beautiful sight, but a symptom of larger environmental issues. Dellarobia questions her deeply rooted beliefs and begins to navigate her new role in the community, her family, and the world.
