About this book

Ann Patchett's fascinating book "State of Wonder" transports readers on an engrossing journey. Dr. Marina Singh, a pharmacologist, sets out on a perilous journey into the Amazon rainforest, plagued by insects. Her goal is to track down Dr. Annick Swenson, her old mentor, who vanished while developing a promising new medication.

Marina enters a world of breathtaking surprise and peril as she faces her memories of tragedy and sacrifice. Beneath the glittering canopy of the jungle, Patchett skillfully blends improbable beauty with unfathomable tragedy to create a narrative full of moral complexity and emotional impact.
