January doldrums

Flight Behavior: A NovelHave you ever read a book and been so in love with the character(s) that you just can’t bring yourself to read another book so soon.  I feel as though I am cheating on them, or I just want them to live on just a little while longer . . .

I just finished Flight Behavior by Barbara Kingsolver.  Yes, its a grownup book, and yes, she is one of my favorite authors.

Dellarobia is a young woman trapped in her life.  Upon her discovery of monarch butterflies on a piece of her family’s land that they are about to begin logging, she realizes that she is able to escape from her trapped life.  Throughout the book, we see her emerging – just as butterflies do.  She is just so real, I wanted to be her friend.  And, now, I can’t stop thinking of her, wondering how her life is going . . .

So, I will enjoy my thoughts a little while longer.

Happy Reading!
