NNC’s Book Club is an opportunity for those who are interested in approaching environmental topics through fiction and nonfiction books to meet one another, share thought-provoking conversation, and have fun reading!

Join us for our first meeting, where we will discuss Barbara Kingsolver’s novel “Flight Behavior.”
“Flight Behavior is a brilliant and suspenseful novel set in present day Appalachia; a breathtaking parable of catastrophe and denial that explores how the complexities we inevitably encounter in life lead us to believe in our particular chosen truths. Kingsolver’s riveting story concerns a young wife and mother on a failing farm in rural Tennessee who experiences something she cannot explain, and how her discovery energizes various competing factions—religious leaders, climate scientists, environmentalists, politicians—trapping her in the center of the conflict and ultimately opening up her world.” (Amazon)
