State of Wonder
When a brilliant medical researcher disappears into the Amazon, her protégé, Dr. Marina Singh, is sent to find her–and learn the status of the potential miracle fertility drug she’d been seeking. What Dr. Singh finds is a bizarre world of advanced science juxtaposed with the dark life of the jungle and its traditional inhabitants. Inspired by Heart of Darkness, this is very different from the more recent family dramas Patchett has delivered.
