This Book refers to Long Stretch of Lonesome performed by Patty Loveless
Dellarobia and Dovey spend New Year's Day together, doing each other's hair, while listening to the radio plays songs they loved in high school, like 'Long Stretch of Lonesome; and 'All the Good Ones Are Gone'.
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.
