    Mary McGarry Morris says it best: "Noah's Wife may be a contemporary allegory, but Lindsay Starck is a classic storyteller ... her novel is an engrossing fusion of wisdom and beautiful writing." Noah's Wife is a gorgeously written, brilliantly introspective fable-like novel.

    Discussion Questions

    1.

    The narrator only confers proper names on a handful of characters; others are named
    through their relationships to others. Why do you think the author chose to do this? Also, even
    those characters that arent named by the narrator are referred to by name in conversation
    with others, except for Noahs wife. Why do you think she remains Noahs wife throughout?

    2.

    Noah is fighting a difficult internal battle to overcome his crisis of faith. Why do you think he
    is struggling with his beliefs? Have you ever experienced a situation in which you doubted
    your ability to have faith? What types of faith, other than religious, do we see in the novel?

    3.

    The biblical flood story describes the pairs of animals that march into the ark. How is this
    novel, too, a story about pairing?

    4.

    Why have the townspeople decided to stay in this dying town? How do the characters
    reconcile their decisions to remain even when its clear that its dangerous to do so?

    5.

    The town in the story is overcome by the ungovernable forces of nature. What message does
    this send about the relationship between humans and their environment?

    6.

    Is there a villain is this novel? If so, who and why?

    7.

    The novel is full of references to animalsboth literal and metaphorical. What is the role of
    the zoo in the novel? Do the animals further divide the townspeople or do they bring them
    together?

    8.

    Noahs ark in popular culture is often used as a sunny theme in nurseries or at birthday
    partiesthe animals, the rainbows, and so on. Yet the story itself is very dark in its depiction
    of the destruction of the world. Is this novel optimistic or pessimistic? How does the story
    combine lighthearted elements with darker aspects?

    9.

    Noahs Wife is based on a minor character in the biblical flood story. Does she succeed as
    a protagonist? What is the role of minor characters in this novel?

    10.

    At the end of the novel, which characters have changed and which have remained
    mostly the same? Do you think the story portrays a realistic view of how humans react
    to uncontrollable circumstances? How do you imagine the future will unfold for Noahs wife
    and the townspeople? For Noah?
